Re: Why does SP KC7MRY@KC7MRY.#WPA.PA.US.NAOM match RMS?

Two things to note. At first glance it looks like it goes to RMS because you have a typo in the HA. The ¡°US.NAOM¡± should be ¡°USA.NOAM¡± at the end. Unless you have a direct path to the destination system, it won¡¯t match any of the intermediate stations¡¯ forwarding rules. That makes the KC7MRY@KC7MRY.#WPA.PA.US.NAOM be treated as an internet address and thus is sent to RMS.

On a second read, it looks like there¡¯s another issue. The message is address to ¡­ .#WPA.PA.US.NAOM but you state that you put PA.US.NAOM in the HA forwarding. That¡¯s not a match, again leaving the addressed to resolve to an internet address and be sent to RMS.

Hi, Jim:

Thanks.
This is not a typo, I did it that way, but yes, it is a mal-formed HA. ;-)
I am learning something new about BPQ-BBS HA routing.
I have PA.US.NAOM in the HR field of a forwarding neighbor in #WPA.PA.USA.NOAM,
So, I was trying to, at least, forward directly into #WPA.
I was expecting to see a HA routing match ~ "depth of 3"<--NAOM.US.PA.
Like:

240618 20:11:01 ?NC8Q????? Routing Trace Type P TO W3PHB VIA W3PHB@W3PHB.#WPA.PA.USA.NOAM Route On WW NA USA PA #WPA
240618 20:11:01 ?NC8Q????? Routing Trace HR Matches BBS K3CLM Depth 5
240618 20:11:01 ?NC8Q????? Routing Trace HR Matches BBS N3MEL Depth 4
240618 20:11:01 ?NC8Q????? Routing Trace HR Best Match is K3CLM
240618 20:11:09 |K3CLM???? Connecting to BBS K3CLM

But, nooooo, with a non-standard/mal-formed HA, there is no mention of a 'Match', so it went to RMS. :-( Grrrrr.

I still think '*.PA.US.NAOM' is a 'Match' to my K3CLM Forward.
:-|
I assume that a BBS in #WPA.PA.USA.NOAM would not have a forward to HA: #WPA.PA.USA.NOAM,
thus the message would forward by @CALLSIGN.
Although, now I fear that K3CLM would next send the message to RMS. Alas!

I think the default should not be 'send everything not understood to RMS'.

73, Chuck
