 Mv> No AAAA record, plus that 4:801/188 is not present in the list of AKA's

    That is by design. Here at Region 80, we decided that it would be of best interest of the region to have a dedicated MO system that would be independent of any BBS, to avoid the issues we used to have with our previous ZC, which system would fail frequently and disrupt the message flow. 

    So, we have an instance running at Google Cloud which hosts 4:80/1, and it distributes mail to all 4:801/* nodes. That allowed us to have close to 100% of availability since then. 

    4:801/188 is as of now a private node, which I use to read Fido email. When I step down from the R80 role, the new RC will take over the administration of that Google Cloud instance. 

If you check the nodelist, will notice that 4:80/1 does have a MO flag. 

I have already contacted the DNS provider and they will add the AAAA record soon, once this is ready I will ask you guys to retest. 

.... Everyone has a photographic memory. Some don't have film.
