Hi all, I have been trying to configure my linBPQ Bookworm Raspberry Pi to forward mail to a LinFBB BBS.
I have followed a number of guides and am pretty sure I have it configured correctly, but the mail never forwards. I see a number of retries (I have snipped the logs to reduce the size of this message).
Can anyone see an issue?

The pertinent part of linmail.cfg is as follows:

? GB7CIP :
? {
? ? TOCalls = "GB7CIP";
? ? ConnectScript = "C 1 GB7CIP-0";
? ? ATCalls = "#32.GBR.EURO ";
? ? HRoutes = "#32.GBR.EURO|WW";
? ? HRoutesP = "#32.GBR.EURO|WW";
? ? FWDTimes = "";
? ? Enabled = 0;
? ? RequestReverse = 1;
? ? AllowBlocked = 1;
? ? AllowCompressed = 1;
? ? UseB1Protocol = 1;
? ? UseB2Protocol = 0;
? ? SendCTRLZ = 0;
? ? FWDPersonalsOnly = 0;
? ? FWDNewImmediately = 1;
? ? FwdInterval = 10;
? ? RevFWDInterval = 10;
? ? MaxFBBBlock = 10000;
? ? ConTimeout = 120;
? ? BBSHA = "GB7WOR.#32.GBR.EURO";
? };

?

In logLatest_BBS.txt it shows retries:

As above, I have snipped the whole AX25 convo (all retries) due to size:
