Well, IMHO, I think a nodelist is a good source - but it doesnt need to be the exclusive source I guess.

Mail only nodes can be handled with the MO flag - thus any "telnet door" could (should?) ignore those entries...

Then the only group you are missing out on are those, that are not a member of a nodelist (or "the" nodelist that is your source - given many BBSes are in many networks).
