None of that has anything to do with the issue at hand.  If your 
nodelist entry includes the CM (continuous mail) flag, you are 
stating that your system can receive netmail at any time.  If you break 
that by requiring a password, you are not complying with Fidonet 
standards.

Plus, it just doesn't make any sense.  Why deny netmail?

Don't confuse netmail with echomail...  two different things.
