August sent a request to my areafix. It was bounced because it was to "2:0/0", not to "2:221/1".

I tried to send netmail from my WP point to "ping" and I noticed that it is possible to send netmail without entering the address. The netmail was also to "2:0/0" as you see above.

Of course this is user error but WP might check the sanity of the address. :)
