I ran a test by sending netmail to myself at 1/100 from 1/101
It worked. I could see an encrypted packet leaving 1/101 and when I logged in to 1/100 I could read what I sent.
But.. the logging at 1/100 showed the decryption taking place (thanks) but it also said it failed (when it actually hadn't)

So
Could the reporting be incorrect?
Should there be some additional detail of error reports to help debug actual decryption fails?
What happens to packets that do fail to decrypt? Do they go to a place they
can be retossed at a later time? If not, perhaps they should be??
