Adding a MO flag isn't the right thing to do, IMO. That's telling people 
there's no BBS running.
If you care to have successful connections from unlisted nodes, maybe looking 
at another mailer would be an option for you?

Binkd is a great mailer, otherwise I hear FMail for Windows is pretty good too, 

and has more of a GUI configuration than binkd does, I believe.

Which, IMO, is bullshit. You shouldn't make people pay for a product you're not 

going to support. Continued support is part of the reason you pay for a 
product. If you're not going to support it anymore, open source it, or sell it 
to someone who will continue to support it. That's just how I feel about it, 
anyways.

Regards,
Nick
