   As Jay mentioned: At least one of the issues here is that echomail will never   
   be allowed from unsecure packets.  If it was, then anyone could easily destroy   
   networks with spam posts and floods (and trust me there are spammers and   
   others childish people enough to do stuff like that unfortunately).   
      
   When processing unsecured PKTs is enabled, it will only process netmail and   
   skip over any echomail.  That is what you see happening in your logs.   
      
   If you want to accept echomail from an incoming connection they have to be a   
   known connection.  To do this they need to be setup in your echomail nodes,   
   they need to present the same address you've set them up for, and they need to   
   have an agreed password to authenticate.   
      
   If you do have them setup and its still going to unsecured, then the issue is   
   likely found in the mis.log which will detail the BINKP authentication.  Most   
   likely in this case they are not presenting the same address to you that you   
   have configured for them.
