Hello, All!

I am trying to understand why jamnntpd/smapinntpd will write my from address
2:5015/46 in reverse order like this <0@46.5015.2>. Is it a bug or a feature?
I guess it is a feature but then what kind of issue it tries to solve?

Below is the snippet from nntpserv.c which does it

if(sscanf(fromaddr,"%u:%u/%u.%u", &zone, &net, &node, &point)==4)
    sprintf(fromaddr,"%u@%u.%u.%u", point, node, net, zone);

Best Regards, Nil
