Yes, BBBS would balk at a node who was not in the nodelist if I tried to
send it any type of mail.

I know that :)

If that fellow was a downlink of mine, BBBS would balk.  It takes in
ANYBODY's echomail though ...

Dunno.. BBBS does check the node for a node number I guess.. and a dialable
point (I mean like a phone number,etc.).

Geez, Phil, gimme a break.  All I was saying is exactly what I said.. quit

Nevermind :) Not worth the trouble to explain
