# DPBOX now scans forward paths of private mails and general bulletins

# as follows: Normally, auto routing measurements work best with
# flood distributed bulletins, as these distribute in the network
# among the fastest connections. Unfortunately, with increasing use of
# internet forwarding, the paths are no longer reliable for private
# messages sent back to a bbs, as most internet forwarders only exchange
# bulletins, not private mails. They represent dead ends for private mails.
# If you switch PRIV_ROUTER ON, only forward paths of private mails are
# used for routing. But: This implies another drawback. Routing of private
# mails is sysop-dependant. Usually, private mails are not distributed
# among the fastest paths, instead, they often follow amazing sysop
# routing settings. An auto router based on distribution paths of private
# mails will follow these paths, too. As you can see, there is no perfect
# solution for this dilemma. Let us remember that all problems started with
