Hello STEVEN,

On Tuesday May 31 2011 13:00, you wrote to Joe Delahaye:

I have no need for telnet in a mailer. Binkp is vastly superior, so who
needs telnet if you have binkp?

Anyway, I would prefer to have the existing bugs and shortcomings fixed,
rather than having new whistles and bells.

Last week I was reminded of another annoying bug: Irex does not honour the
direct flag. When a node has been entered in de node manager, Irex will
always insist on sending a message direct. With or without the direct flag.
There is no way to route a message, when the destination node is in the
node manager. When he is temporarely down, you can not send its mail to his
host or hub for pickup. The only way is to remove that node from the node
manager. Flagging it as inactive won't do it, you  have to remove it
completely. Annoying...


Cheers, Michiel
