I wrote a netmail to someone yesterday and my own BBS bounced it back to me because the person I wrote to was not in the nodelist.

That can happen but it doesn't matter who you write to but it is important that the node(s) you route through can find a route to the destination node.

In a case like that you'll need to send the message directly to the destination if you have their connect info.
