Hi Gary,

Well there are 10 nodes + 3 administrative entries in the most current 
nodelist. That makes a total of 13.

I don't have access to your routing table. I used the most recently published 
nodelist.

No that is never correct. How else could one deliver crash mail to a node?

A node that isn't accepting crashmails from "unsecure" systems, should be 
marked Private in the nodelist (without any connection flags). Or even better: 
be removed from the nodelist and use a point number.

The test used the most recent published nodelist. What other public 
"parameters" are there, that could be used?

 GM> The 9 active nodes are perfectly stable and working together fine.

The test proves otherwise, or the current nodelist needs a big update...


Bye, Wilfred.
