 DS>    Why do you say they are totally dependent on Z1 for their mail?

 MVDV> Have you looked at the Z6 segment of the nodelist recently? 

   Not really, nor do I see its relevance.

 MVDV> It is staring you in the face! How about this:

  What about it?
  More to the point, why does anyone care where people choose to get
  their mail -- so long as they don't start creating dupe loops to
  others.

 DS>    Perhaps they chose to get some of it from Z1 because they can get
 DS>    good connections there.

 MVDV> Look at the nodelist. Where *within* their own zone would 
 MVDV> the remaining Z6 nodes get their mail? From ZC6? She is not 
 MVDV> IP capable and she is on sea six month of the year. No good.

   Perhaps they get some of their mail from Z3?  How would you know?

 MVDV> Next level, the RC's. Of the three RCs listed, none is functional.

   No argument there, but what does that have to do with getting mail?


 DS>    cannot verify that you *get* mail directly from Z1, but I can
 DS>    verify that you *send* mail directly to Z1.]

 MVDV> I have some 20 active links. Many within zone 2, some 
 MVDV> scattered around the globe. I send and receive mail from 
 MVDV> all over the place. I do not depend on any one in 
 MVDV> particular however.

  Fair enough -- but what does the nodelist have to do with that?
 
  Oh, BTW, from a message from xxCarol in this same packet, not all Z6
  nodes get all their mail from Z1 as you claimed.   The fact that they
  choose to get most of their mail from Z1 connections does not mean
  that they are totally dependent on Z1 for mail as you claimed.
