    Hallo Taliadon,

    Would someone be kind enough to send a test message to my Fido address
    2:250/6?

    I tried it but my uplink returned the NetMail to me because the node
    number is not listed in the nodelist...
    I just checked and in *my* nodelist (nodelist.064), it is listed, but not in nodelist.353 (that my uplink still uses according to the bounce mail).

    What is the advantage of routed netmail anyway? Just crash it.

    Who is your uplink? The RC24?

    For me, it is the classic way of sending out FidoNet mails, that's what
    all the infrastructure is here for.
    And so I'm using it :)

    Yes, 2:240/5832

    The classic way was in times were phone calls were metered or lines limited. If your node is pushing the netmail immediately to your uplink, why not send it directly to the recipients node? That's what the infrastructure (nodelist / IP) has been created for.

    Yes, 2:240/5832

    Obviously this infrastructure is not working very well ;).
