   Hello Dmitry,   
      
   On Saturday September 28 2024 23:06, you wrote to me:   
      
    MV>> AH, I see. You refuse connections with unlisted systems. There is   
    MV>> a flag for that, the LO flag. You do not carry that flag in the

   But you accepted a connection from 2:280/464.5555...   
      
   Anyway, my fiberglas connection supports IPv6 as you can see. *1)

   That is annoying and if for that reason you refuse connections from unlisted   
   systems you should fly the LO flag. You do not...   
      
    MV>> Whatever, it will be fixed in a couple of hours.   
      
    DP> Good! Let's make this world better.   
      
   I am listed in today's daily.   
      
    DP>>> @PATH: 280/5555 5020/1042 4441 5001/100   
      
    DP>>> Looks like 2:5020/1042 deserves a punishment..   
      
    MV>> For what?   
      
    DP> For processing echomail from node that is not in nodelist.   
      
   Unlisted, but not unknown.   
      
    DP> You may not actually be "Michiel van der Vlist", but rather one of his   
    DP> virtual identities. According to the nodelist, the real Michiel van   
    DP> der Vlist left Fidonet in June   
      
   Those alleged virtual identities would not have the matching passwpords to   
   have the connection accepted and the echomail processed. That is why passwords   
   were invented.   
      
   Anyway, we are getting off-topic.   
      
   To get back on topic:   
      
   *1) My fiberglass connection supports IPv6 but to my annoyance there still is   
   a problem with incoming IPv6 connetctions. The modem/router that they supply   
   (Nokia XS-2426G-B) has no functioning method to create an IPv6 pinhole in the   
   firewall. :-(   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
