//Hello Rinaldo,//

on *09.03.22* at *17:02:29* You wrote in Area *WINPOINT*
to *all* about *"Poll second node, polls first adres"*.

 RV> Hello %destname,

 RV> in line not the second one.

Just guessing: You have used invalid fidonet addresses on the BBSes and those
two nodes actually have the same addres...

WP actually internally polls by Mailbox Node number when you select a Mailbox
from the menu ... so if two mailboxes come down to the same node number the
mechanics cause it to use the configuration from the first matching mailbox.
Yes, that is unexpected and I am not a fan of it, but its usually a non-issue.

Regards,
Tim
