ECHOMAIL?  Note above I said echomail source. Maybe for netmail, but not
echomail being distributed?  :>

It happened recently ... A guy who was out of FidoNet for a few years
getting echomail until questioned that the node number didn't exist.

I wasn't saying *I* would offer echomail to an unlisted node... was just
being "funny" thinking about a few months back when somebody got
reuinted with their old net after recieveing, and sending (seen by
everybody) echomail on his old node number.  Your system will NOT balk at
echomail that is being distributed with the rest of it... what mailer or
tosser checks "echomail" origin lines against the nodelist.

What stops it so long as the echo uplink has them configured in?

Maybe you misunderstood the point, even though there really was no
point.... just an observation from what has already happened, and to the
reality of what FidoNet is today to itself when it all boils down to it. 
Or maybe is it that you -thought- I meant something else, and were looking
for an opportunity to belittle me because I blame the degression of FidoNet
in Z1 on those who have ignored the -real- issues here and made the biggest
things out of the most unimportant crap as if we still had 30,000 nodes
(and part of that loss a result of it) to worry about... and I make no
secrets about it?

My software works fine, BTW, so don't worry about saying "I don't know
about you're software"... What *I* use set most of the standards until
the YAMOLI people from Z1 threw any "standards" out the window
and drove almost all the serious developers away.

FD 2.33ml (registered... SETTER of standards)

FMail 2.60 (registered even though freeware/non-commercial)

EleBBS -now- but prior *ProBoard* (registered...at one time TOP of the line
and blew the likes of RA away!)

BinkD (freeware... only used to accomodate YAMOLI stuff and bastardized standards)

TransX ... for FTP use with nodes... (registered)

Name the issues with the above software that you "don't know about".

Bye,

Phil
