   Hi g00r00,   
      
   Had a situation recently where someone sent a netmail to a point address on my   
   system that used to exist but no longer does.  Since it didn't match any of the   
   configured points it was routed to 21:* and ended up getting passed back &   
   forth between my system and the hub until the hub noticed & nuked it.   
      
   My fsxNet address is 21:3/110   
      
      
   $ ./mis poll route 21:3/110.10   
   Netmail addressed to 21:3/110.10 would route to 21:3/110.10 (Ogg's fsxNet   
   Point)   
      
   $ ./mis poll route 21:3/110.1   
   Netmail addressed to 21:3/110.1 would route to 21:3/100 (fsxNet)   
      
   $ ./mis poll route 21:3/110   
   Netmail addressed to 21:3/110 would route to 21:3/100 (fsxNet)   
      
      
   Would it be possible to have Mystic either drop or bounce a message back if it   
   receives a netmail addressed to its boss node address but the point doesn't   
   exist?
