[Dxspider-support] forward.pl

[Bob Nielsen]

I put the following in /spider/msg/forward.pl:

'B', 'T', 'DXNEWS', 'F',  [ qw(K7SDX) ],
'B', 'T', 'ALL', 'F',  [ qw(K7SDX) ],
'B', 'T', 'BULLETIN', 'F',  [ qw(K7SDX) ],
'B', 'T', 'DX', 'F',  [ qw(K7SDX) ],

When I did the load/forward command, it gave a successful completion,  
but in checking the log, nothing has been forwarded. I though that it  
wouldn't forward existing bulletins, but have received a few  
incoming  ones since loading the file and they didn't forward either.

Can anyone see something wrong in my forward.pl?
