The real reason this is happening, in my opinion, is a mis-configured node that does not really know it's own callsign. This often happens in parts of Europe where individuals have calls, and their stations must have a different call.
It has nothing to do with WP messages being 'accepted' as the only configuration setting is Reject WP as Bulls or not. There is no other configuration for receiving the WP messages. But if the SENDER of the WP message sends to the individual call, when the station has a different call, this very thing will probably happen. The individual does not read it. The WP messages must be sent to the station call. And the station must be configured properly. Since I am not in that situation I really cannot say for sure how to configure BPQ to be sure this does not happen.
I have done nothing in my config to receive WP messages. BPQ just processes them. I do not accept WP messages as BULLS and I do not forward them either. As far as I know BPQ will not process them anyway.
