   Synchronet does not, and has never required a nodelist for anything.   
   Synchronet only requires you setup your sbbsecho.cfg (or echocfg as a GUI)   
   properly. It's basically a route table of sorts.   
      
   It's probably your mailer that requires that nodelist, but Synchronet doesn't   
   at all.

   He probably set up his "mailbox" or "filebox" as the same directory as the   
   outbound directory. That's usually the only way you will start receiving the   
   .?lo, .try, .bsy/.csy etc files - which is of course the wrong way to setup a   
   BSO mailer.   
      
    ML>> you mean SA0 TU2 and similar? those are bundles... they contain   
    ML>> PKTs...   
      
    DS>   That's what I figured. Mail seems to be tossing OK.   
      
   Sure, but you seem to be left with some extra cruft, eh? (.clo/.dlo/.hlo files   
   as well as possibly others)   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
