   No it doesn't. Message packet file has correct node + point number. The origin   
   line has your node + point number.

   Yes, as it should be.   
      
   First of all, you should read fidonet policy. A point is user, not multi-user   
   BBS. For rest of the world, it is your boss node who sends the message and who   
   gets the blame if you do something bad.   
      
   Never run multi-user BBS with a point number!   
      
   I'll repeat: Never run multi-user BBS with a point number!   
      
   Secondly, you should read original FTS documents from the 1990's. MSGID is   
   without point number. In netmail there is separate FMPT kludge. Even the INTL   
   kludge is without.   
      
   (There might be some never 2010 spec allowing something else. Support for   
   newer specs will be implemented slowly. Support for specs that were not   
   available at the time of BBBS release is, of course, impossible.)
