Seems like they wouldn't really be classified as points (except for the fact
that they have a point in their node number), then, if they have mailers
online and are able to be connected to by the general population? Maybe we
should look up the definition of "point" again?

In regards to routing netmail, it /should/ be done via the boss node *by
default*. If one wants to setup a direct route to a point (or anyone, for that
matter), that is up to those two systems. Honestly, I shouldn't even have to
explain this, as you know these answers already. Seems as though you just
wanted to stir the pot. Instead of replying to me with contradictions, why not
try to help the original poster, instead?

Nothing here has been stated that communication between the two systems has
been set up directly. All that was stated was that he was trying to send mail
to a point directly (only with mention of his domain line in binkd.conf - no
mention whatsoever of his routing configuration) So, I was referring to the
defaults.. and also stated "unless you went out of your way to setup a direct
connection". I think I covered what I needed to, unless you have more to add?

Regards,
Nick
