[nos-bbs] JNOS and Winlink interfacing -- close but stuck

[Bob Tenty]

Forwarding and retrieving of mail works fine for the call-sign of jnos. 
(registered with winlink)

Retrieving I understand but forwarding of another call to winlink 
doesn't work.

Note: That other call is also registered at winlink

Jnos deletes that mail in that users mbox (as it thinks its delivered  
to winlink) but it it doesn't arrive.
It just disappears in a "black hole"

No error to sysop, nothing.

I didn't monitor the traffic as yet.

73,
