   //Hello Tommi,//   
      
   on *16.02.2022* at *13:18:54* You wrote in Area *WINPOINT*   
   to *Tim Schattkowsky* about *"netmail"*.

   Interesting.    
      
   By reproducing the original problem (WP no longer detects invalid receiver   
   addresses in the editor - fixed now), I also checked the outgoint packet and   
   there is only the all-zeros INTL included. I would suspect that *some other   
   software stumbled upon it and inserted an INTL line*, presumably because the   
   underlying logic is that *old software sometimes does not distinguish between   
   "no value" and "valie, but all zero"*, so reading all zero might lead such   
   software to misinterpret this internally as "no INTL found" and feeling like   
   inserting one based on all known information (default zone and node/net from   
   message header, which is consistently also all zeroes).   
      
   Anyway, WP should now again make sure there is a valid address given before   
   sending a netmail message.
