Synchronet does not, and has never required a nodelist for anything. Synchronet 
only requires you setup your sbbsecho.cfg (or echocfg as a GUI) properly. It's 
basically a route table of sorts.

It's probably your mailer that requires that nodelist, but Synchronet doesn't 
at all.

He probably set up his "mailbox" or "filebox" as the same directory as the 
outbound directory. That's usually the only way you will start receiving the 
..?lo, .try, .bsy/.csy etc files - which is of course the wrong way to setup a 
BSO mailer.

Sure, but you seem to be left with some extra cruft, eh? (.clo/.dlo/.hlo files 
as well as possibly others)

Regards,
Nick
