      TZUTC: 0200       CHRS: CP850 2       MSGID: 2:301/123 60a13381               Hello everybody!              Strange things happening over here. I'm newly rejoined to Fido after 20 years       absence, so it's pretty sure the error is on my side. What would cause my       system to try sending netmail directly to a point?       ******       + 16 May 16:32:31 [13636] call to 2:341/66.3463@fidonet       + 16 May 16:32:31 [13636] getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known. (11001)       + 16 May 16:33:31 [11224] call to 2:341/66.3463@fidonet       + 16 May 16:33:31 [11224] getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known. (11001)       + 16 May 16:34:31 [20024] call to 2:341/66.3463@fidonet       + 16 May 16:34:31 [20024] getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known. (11001)       + 16 May 16:35:31 [12984] call to 2:341/66.3463@fidonet       + 16 May 16:35:31 [12984] getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known. (11001)       ******              I have one "Node" definition in my binkd.cfg for my uplink and "defnode":       ******       node 2:301/1 * SuperSecretSessionPassword!       defnode *       ******              If I leave the "defnode" out, my system doesn't dial out at all.              Also, enabling or disabling "root-domain binkp.net" doesn't change anything       from what I can see.              But my understanding of Fido is that netmails to a point should go to that       point's uplink/node (in this case to 2:341/66)?                     Regards       Fermin                     ...
