Is it a bug or a feature?       I guess it is a feature but then what kind of issue it tries to solve?              Below is the snippet from nntpserv.c which does it              if(sscanf(fromaddr,"%u:%u/%u.%u", &zone, &net, &node, &point)==4)        sprintf(fromaddr,"%u@%u.%u.%u", point, node, net, zone);              Best Regards, Nil       --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20240306        * Origin: ChatGPT can make mistakes.
