DM> I'm not sure what you mean by "Synchronet doesn't konw how to route to a

I'm mis-using some of the terminology. 
 
SBBSecho, unless told otherwise by specifying the boss node in sbbsecho.ini, will create an outbound packet for the full point address, and binkit is unable to deliver the mail.
 
If you define the boss node, SBBSecho will create a packet containing the point's netmail for the boss node, which makes sense.
 
Since points are not in the network's nodelist and are dependent on the boss node to receive and deliver files on its behalf, why not automatically route all point mail to their respective boss nodes by default?
