Thanks again for looking into this.

I wanted to send you my logs and notes from my experiments with point
netmail. If I understand the logic, a point that has a boss node defined
in sbbsecho.ini should have mail host-routed to the boss. I'm running
sbbsecho 3.20, recently updated from the nightly archives.

It appears that point mail isn't being host-routed, which the commit you
referenced appears to suggest.

I did the following:

1. I defined the boss node, 2:221/1 in sbbsecho.ini. I created a netmail to
2:221/1:58 in SBBS. When I run SBBSECHO, I see the netmail being packed.

2. I try polling the boss node, configured in echocfg:
