   In Sweden all numbers beginning with a "1" are reserved for
emergency numbers. I therefore move to strike the entire zone 1 from the
nodelist in case some stupid Swede, that doesn't mind having his mailer
send crash mail to the US unattended, and knows how to make contact to his
hub/host, but still haven't figured out how to properly process the phone
numbers in the nodelist.

   I also move to strike all numbers beginning with 61 since one of my best
friends have a local number beginning with 61. He would be very upset if a
seriously malconfigured mailer started calling him in the middle of the
night.
