Interesting. Perhaps I should give this a shot. So in other words, the BBS that's actually listening and calling out for mail, occupying port 24554 or whatever it is, is a "shadow" instance that actually communicates with the real BBSes behind the scenes. Is that a correct understanding?

I should look into this more, I have done very little in this regard.
