   Sure, point can be multi-user BBS, but it should not be. Problem here is   
   Fidonet Policy 4.07 (is it still valid?):   
      
   Section 1.2.1.2:   
      
   > A point is generally regarded in the same manner as a user, for example,   
   > the bossnode is responsible for mail from the point.   
      
   Section 2.1.3:   
      
   > The sysop listed in the nodelist entry is responsible for all traffic   
   > entering FidoNet via that system.  This includes (but is not limited to)   
   > traffic entered by users, points, and any other networks for which the system   
   > might act as a gateway.   
      
   ...but this is getting off topic here.

   FTS-0001 says INTL is z:n/n, point in TOPT + FMPT. I read it as "not allowed".   
   BBBS uses that format when exporting messages, but supports z:n/n.p when   
   importing.   
      
   Anyway, I just changed MSGID to include point.
