   ummm... 5D includes the FTN domain, guys...   
      
     1D : node   
     2D : net/node and node.point   
     3D : zone:net/node and net/node.point   
     4D : zone:net/node.point   
     5D : zone:net/node.point@domain or domain#zone:net/node.point   
      
   the old 1D and 2D formats that leave off the zone and/or net are no longer used   
    since the network has evolved to zones...   
      
   echomail seenby and path lines are (still) 2D (net/node)...   
      
   echomail origin lines are 3D/4D with the zone or one of the 5D formats...   
      
   MSGID/REPLY are 3D/4D with the zone...   
      
   in netmail points are denoted in the TOPT/FMPT lines if they are not 0 (zero)   
   but a TOPT/FMPT of 0 (zero) should still work properly...   
      
   i just wanted to clarify the terminology...

   Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it   
   wrong...
