[nos-bbs] No Takers ??

No takers on my post from yesterday ??
 
---------------------------------------------
 
 
Yeah.... Um... 
 
I gotta say there is something wrong with that part of the REWRITE file and how JNOS performs with messages to local users.
 
First, all other aspects of my REWRITE file appear to work correctly, EXCEPT for local users sending messages to local users. That part of the rewrite file doesn't work correctly what-so-ever.
 
My JNOS station call is  kg6baj.
 
My line in my REWRITE file for local stations looks like this:
====================
*@kg6baj    $1
*@kg6baj.*  $1
====================
 
This just flat out doesn't work when one local user sends to another local user.
 
Please note: The VERY LAST line in my REWRITE file is "* hold" so that anything not caught by the other rules gets put into the HOLD area and I can review it for adding in more rules. 
 
With this, any local user sending a message to any other local user, those messages get caught in the HOLD area and not the intended local users mail area.
 
Here are some observations.
 
Observation #1
When a local user sends to another local user, they DO NOT add "... at KG6BAJ" to the end of their "SP" command. They address it like this:
"SP KC6QDK"          NOT like this --->      "SP KC6QDK at KG6BAJ"
 
Observation #2
IF THEY DID USE  "SP KC6QDK at KG6BAJ"  then IT DOES get dilivered correctly
 
 
Observation #3-a
JNOS does not appear to be APPENDING an HROUTE to mail sent from local users to local users.
If JNOS were to append an hroute, then a mail sent to "SP KC6QDK" would look like this  "SP KC6QDK at KG6BAJ.#NCA.CA.USA.NOAM"
(Noting here that the HROUTE would have to come from my USERS.DAT file when local users register at my station)
 
Observation #3-b
If an hroute were to be appended, the rewrite rule of   "*@kg6baj.*  $1"    should  kick in and local mail should  get delivered correctly.(Note "should")
 
Observation #4
When a local user sends to another local user, and does not specify an "... at KG6BAJ" to the end of it, I've looked at the VERBOSE contents of the mail delivered to the HOLD area and the "TO:" is always just the callsign with no  "... at KG6BAJ" added to the end. Thus the rewrite rules can't see it as something intended for local delivery.
 
I'm not sure why jnos does not seam to check the "users.dat" file and make a determination as to who is REGISTERED at my station and automatically append either an HROUTE or append an "@KG6BAJ" to the "SP xxxxx" part.
 
 
Observation #5
For that matter, now that I think about it...  I have REGISTERED users that visit my station, but have a HOME BBS somewhere else. "RK3KPK" is one of them.
I checked my "USERS.DAT" file and he did include his HROUTE (CX2SA.LAV.URY.SA) when he registered. But if I were to send a private message to him using "SP RK3KPK" that message also gets thrown into the HOLD mail area, instead of being routed out to my forwarding partner. A VERBOSE read of the message when it hits the HOLD area also shows that no HROUTE was added to the "TO:" and thus jnos rewrite rules for forwading don't kick in.  
 
So...  Any Ideas as to what's not working correctly here ???
 
I would be happy to post any configurations here if requested.
