   * An ongoing debate between Tom De Puysseleyr and Ben Ritchey rages on ...   
      
    TP> That's the one I'm using. And I run that command everytime there's a   
    TP> new nodelist. But somehow it seems like rex doesn't read those files.   
    TP> Does this work for you?  I also have FrontDoor running (well, running,   
    TP> it just sits there, doing nothing). So there's also a Frontdoor   
    TP> nodelist in that folder. Maybe rex chooses the frontdoor-nodelist as   
    TP> its primary nodelist?   
      
   Should not matter, as long as the defined nodelist in Rex is a valid one :)     
   When I setup new nodes my Rex uses the nodelist to pre-fill certain entries   
   for    
   me, otherwise I don't know what it does otherwise {chuckle} as I don't use    
   anything else that requires it. {shrug}   
      
   If you are writing a Netmail to a FIDO address NOT in the Rex config, it may    
   try to validate this before sending, or not ... but should not need it. If you    
   want the INA: setting address for that node I would expect Rex to look for a    
   Rex defined node with that Node addy and grab the IP from there (i.e. BinkP    
   node).   
      
   Rex is not a full-featured, bells & whistles type IP mailer like Mystic is,   
   BUT    
   what it does do I've found it does do it well!
