   Hello, Tommi!   
      
   Sunday September 14 2025 10:06, from Tommi Koivula -> Nil Alexandrov:   
      
    NA>> I am trying to understand why   
    NA>> jamnntpd/smapinntpd will write my from address   
    NA>> 2:5015/46 in reverse order like this   
    NA>> <0@46.5015.2>. Is it a bug or a feature? I guess   
    NA>> it is a feature but then what kind of issue it   
    NA>> tries to solve?   
      
    TK> It is a feature. Some nntp clients dont like chars : and / in the   
    TK> email address. That is the way to show ftn address in email-like   
    TK> format.   
      
   I understand that part but still why using a point number as a username before   
   the @ symbol? Why writing the FTN address in reverse order? Why not follow say   
   http://ftsc.org/docs/frl-1002.001 user.name@pPP.fFF.nNN.zZZ.gateway.domain ?   
      
   Also, there is a bug with the X-SMAPI-From field, which I will try to   
   investigate later   
   X-SMAPI-From: Dmitry Protasoff <0:0/0.0>   
   X-SMAPI-To: Nil A <2:5001/100.1>   
      
   Best Regards, Nil
