Eesh, that's so old I barely remember what was in that version! :)

Define "addressed".  In order for the forwarding to work, the
"destination" field in the "routing information" must *exactly* match
the station you want it to go to.

Have you re-started D-RATS since you turned on auto forwarding?  It's
rather silly (and I need to fix it) but it won't actually start the
forwarding thread except at startup if the preference is set.

What's your forwarding interval set to?

Nope, you've got it right :)

If you don't mind, can you install the latest beta and see how that
works for you?  I need to post an official 0.3.1 pretty soon here...

Thanks!
