+WP generated data to GB7CIP by addressing it as an SP mail
+SP WP@GB7CIP.#32.GBR.EURO.
+note: ALL SB WP@WW are automatically rejected, as these should be sent
+as an SP. e.g. SP WP@GB7CIP.#32.GBR.EURO
+Forwarding
+The_Nodel_Lord liaises with his forwarding partners to ensure that
+Personal Mail has routes to the distinations.
+You can test the AX25 Personal Mail path to GB7CIP from anywhere in
+the world by sending a Ping message.
+As detailed further down in these notes.
+Note: GB7CIP does not forward to UK systems that are not authorise
+to 'relay-digipeat' send and receive third party mail, bulletins
+over Radio.
+i.e. Only forward to GB7### systems or relay via MB7 nodes
+over Radio Networks.
+That is your Home BBS needs to be one of the
+UK Licenced Ofcom NOV GB7 systems.
+New BBS systems that wish to send SP mail towards
+GB7CIP.#32.GBR.EURO. Are advised to forward via
+one of my forward partners in your country, Continent as detailed in
+https://www.theskywaves.net/fbb/gb7cip_ax25_fbb_forwarding_paths.pdf
+As I have nearly run out of forward partner configuration slots.
+That you only use ONE HOME BBS. Or if you log to another BBS remember
+to SET YOUR HOME BBS with it's correct HA on the Visited Server.
+Otherwise your action will cause your SP Mail to be misrouted
+(lost in a big black hole).
