Hello Dmitry,

On Saturday September 28 2024 23:06, you wrote to me:

But you accepted a connection from 2:280/464.5555...

Anyway, my fiberglas connection supports IPv6 as you can see. *1)

That is annoying and if for that reason you refuse connections from unlisted systems you should fly the LO flag. You do not...

 MV>> Whatever, it will be fixed in a couple of hours.

 DP> Good! Let's make this world better.

I am listed in today's daily.

 DP>>> @PATH: 280/5555 5020/1042 4441 5001/100

 DP>>> Looks like 2:5020/1042 deserves a punishment..

 MV>> For what?

 DP> For processing echomail from node that is not in nodelist.

Unlisted, but not unknown.

Those alleged virtual identities would not have the matching passwpords to have the connection accepted and the echomail processed. That is why passwords were invented.

Anyway, we are getting off-topic.

To get back on topic:

*1) My fiberglass connection supports IPv6 but to my annoyance there still is a problem with incoming IPv6 connetctions. The modem/router that they supply (Nokia XS-2426G-B) has no functioning method to create an IPv6 pinhole in the firewall. :-(


Cheers, Michiel
