-=> Quoting Paul Edwards to All <=-

Hello Paul,

 PE> 3. No node has any power, except the freedom to not supply mail to
 PE> another node.                  

 If one collects mail from several sources, how are mail loops prevented?  Or
does the dupe checking take care of that.

 PE> Any node may choose to create their own "master list of
 PE> known nodes", by whatever mechanism they choose.

 Like the current nodelist?  If not using this "nodelist" how is mail
controlled during its route?(If there is no hierarchy type system in place)
Will route files be used on all sites, or does the sender control it with
those bang! thingies? If so, how is mail to be handled if one of the specified
bang destinations no longer (or temporarily not) exists?
