Here's the relevant logic in sbbsecho.s pack_netmail():

    if(nodecfg == NULL && addr.point != 0) {
        fidoaddr_t  boss = addr;
        boss.point = 0;
        if((nodecfg = findnodecfg(&cfg, boss, /* exact: */true)) != NULL) {
            addr = boss;
            lprintf(LOG_INFO, "Routing NetMail (%s) to boss-node %s"
                ,getfname(path), smb_faddrtoa(&addr, NULL));
        }
    }

Which means that the boss node must be configured in EchoCfg->Linked Nodes for this boss-routing to occur. Is the boss node in question configured in EchoCfg->Linked Nodes?
