I thought that was probably the case.

I never sent that message directly but that wouldn't work either since 21:2/153 is not in the nodelist currently, so it would get stuck in my outbound. I'm sure that Avon will get that sorted soon.

I can turn that feature off in BBBS but it does save a lot of undeliverable messages bouncing around between the hubs.

I have at times entered a typo in the to: address of messages and if sent out it would just bounce around until someone, somewhere deletes it.
