tossers should do both... path checking is the CPD (Circular Path Detection) 
which was implemented to prevent dupe loops... it also works with VIA lines in 
netmail to detect and stop netmal routing loops...

the seenby should always be checked to prevent sending dupes... always...

seenbys should also be sorted in net order and the list of seenbys rewritten 
each time addresses are added to it...

this is old school common knowledge... i don't know if there's a document 
covering it or not... possibly the only one is FTSC-0004 but it is possible 
there may be something in the historical library along the line of "this is 
what i found out"...
