Yeah, the only problem with that theory is that you actually saw that
change you made to fix international netmail, result in a problem for
non same zone netmail, which stayed there for many weeks before it got
noticed. Presumably because the local mapping caught the same node
netmail, they either didnt send any same zone netmail, or did and it
vanished and they never noticed.

That TinyPoint MAKEMAIL.BAT problem is far far worse, its been in use
for well over a year now by most people here, just how many of those
have had fucking great chunks of mail just silently filed in the bin
we will never know.

Proper maintenance catches most of that stuff, compile and pray doesnt.
