If I understand what you are trying to do correctly, here is what I would
do.  In your sbbsecho.ini file, add an entry like so:

[node:1337:ALL]
Name =
Comment =
Archive = ZIP
PacketType = 2+
PacketPwd =
AreaFix = false
AreaFixPwd =
SessionPwd =
TicFilePwd =
Inbox =
Outbox =
Passive = false
Direct = false
Notify = false
Keys =
Status = Normal
Route = 1337:3/100
GroupHub =
BinkpHost =
BinkpPort = 24554
BinkpPoll = false
BinkpPlainAuthOnly = false
BinkpAllowPlainAuth = false
BinkpAllowPlainText = true
BinkpTLS = false
BinkpSourceAddress =

You *may* not need to have all of these options stated (I am not sure what
might happen if you removed most of them!), but the important ones are the
"node:" and the "Route =" entries.  This tells sbbsecho to route all mail
for any 1337 zone node that does NOT have its own entry to the system stated
in the Route option.

So all netmail for 1337 Zone systems, that don't have their own entry, goes
to 1337:3/100.

Hope that helps.
