But       that's not what I'm saying. Even if you use the latest nodelist, that nodelist       is never 100% up-to-date with reality... So for instance you might block       routed netmail for nodes that are already active, but are not yet in the       nodelist, because the NC/RC has not yet send in their update...              Routing issues should be solved in the routing table, not by blocking possible       legit netmail with a netmail tracker...              Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 18/200 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131       SEEN-BY: 124/5016 129/305 330 331 153/757 7715 154/10 203/0 218/700       SEEN-BY: 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/110 111 206 317 400 424 426 428       SEEN-BY: 229/452 470 550 664 700 240/5832 266/512 280/464 5003 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 8125 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757 341/234 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/280 712/620 848 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 280/464 712/848 229/426           |
