That looks right to me.  

Your default outbound directory should look like this after you run SQUISH OUT 
(or SQUASH if only netmail was created): 

  <outbound>\00E50BB8.PNT\00000001.CLO <-- initiate crash mail to 229/3000.1
  <outbound>\00E50BB8.PNT\0000ffff.th0 <-- compressed mail bundle (or unbundled 
if just 1 message. heh.)

where 00000001.CLO contains

  #<outbound>\00E50BB8.PNT\0000ffff.th0

If you were sending to 229/3000.2,.3,.4 etc. it would look like

  <outbound>\00E50BB8.PNT\00000002.CLO
  <outbound>\00E50BB8.PNT\00000003.CLO
  <outbound>\00E50BB8.PNT\00000004.CLO
  ...
  ...
  ...

where each file contains what it needs to send to the remote system.

Btw; Hex 00E5 equals 229 in decimal (your net number) and 0BB8 equals 3000 
(your node number).

During the mail session with your point node, your mailer sends the file 
"0000ffff.th0" which is then saved to some other file name on your point's 
machine's inbound directory eg. <inbound>\<random_letters>.th0. Their tosser 
determines if <random_letters>.th0 is a compressed or uncompressed file and 
proceeds to extract/import accordingly.

We need to look at your point's tosser log file, and maybe their mailer's log
file to see if the above sequence of events takes place.

I hope you guys are using BinkD and Squish on both ends. Heh.
