Hi Tommi,

On 2022-10-14 14:57:58, you wrote to me:

 TK>  - _the default_

That seems to agree with fts-5001.006

  Flag          Description
  -------------------------

  INA           This flag sets a default server address used
                for any Internet Protocol Flag that does not
                specify its own.

 TK>  - _that does not specify its own_

But in the examples of fts-5004.001, we read this:

; INA:fido.example.net,IBN:fido.example.com,IFC:12345
; both mailers listen at fido.example.net, but only binkp-capable
; mailer listens at fido.example.com

; INA:fido.example.net,IBN,IFC:fido.example.com:12345
; both mailers listen at fido.example.net, but only ifcico-capable
; mailer listens at non-standard port on fido.example.com

; IBN:fido.example.net,IFC:fido.example.com:12345
; no INA flag means there's no common address

So these 2 document contradict


Bye, Wilfred.
