For the messages addressed to inexistant points, you can add a specific route to discard the traffic to inexistent points. :)

Routing is processed in a top down fascion, like Cisco ACLs (if you know Cisco Networking), as a routing rule is matched, the routing occours and the lookup at the routing table stops.

You can configure the routing for the points like this (example with my boss address):

8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--

route hold noroute 2:335/364.1
route hold noroute 2:335/364.2
route hold noroute 2:335/364.3
[...]
route hold noroute 2:335/364.X
route no-pack 2:335/364.*

8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--

Another option (but only for echomails) is to add a session password for each point in binkd, so all the echomail bundles will be placed in the unsecure inbound and not processed.

Ciao!
Fabio
