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?

Sure thing. I'll need to not forget about this this coming weekend and see if
I can set up a test. If you don't hear anything about it being fixed from me
in the next week or so please feel free to nudge me lol

I know you're busy, but I figured I'd nudge you anyway... ;)
