Hello All!

An update from previous post :

I have now received a email showing what he sent :

-!-
============================================================
* Area: NetMail
* From: Ping TRACE service, 2:250/1 (02 May 2022 14:59)
* To: John Dovey
* Subject: Re: Your PING Request
============================================================
     Dear John Dovey,

You sent a PING request to 2:250/21.
This is a TRACE response from "Air Applewood BBS" (AKA 2:250/1@fidonet).
The time of arrival is Mon, 02 May 2022 14:59:45 +0100.
Here are all the detected VIA lines from your message:

======================================================================
Via 4:92/1 @20220502.043835.UTC SBBSecho 3.15-Linux master/04cec7e18
Via 2:30/0@fidonet @20220502.063908.UTC FlexToss 2.00B01/1
Via 2:250/1@fidonet @20220502.043916.UTC mbfido 1.0.8

Chopped lots of the last line

Yss his system should have bounced the direct posting as address does not 
exist
BUT  looking at the mbse manual the routing if sent from here by using
mbfido te f21.n250.z2  (This does not exist in the Nodelist) is :

BFIDO: MBSE BBS 1.0.8 - Fidonet File and Mail Processor
        Copyright (C) 1997-2022 MBSE Development Team, All Rights Reserved

Route 2:250/21 => 2:250/0@fidonet, route result: Route to
  MBFIDO finished in  0.00s


This seems to me to indicate that mbse is NOT rejected and bouncing back the
netmail request.

So even if the poster get his mail to me my system is helping to create the
loop.

This is clearly looking like a bug in mbse.
There is a comment from Michael that he was going to fix this documented in 
the
section about the Netmail routing behaviour under Tracking and bouncing.

Looks like this was never done and needs to be.
