He used me as a hub to forward a netmail to my hub. You don't have to do that. He has to crash his request himself at the Host of the net where he wants to become a node. og> as I don't accept unsecured mail. Then why are you in the nodelist? You should be a point, if other nodes can't send you crashmails, you don't need a public node number. og> What you're saying above is I should have accepted his mail and then og> what? Read it and them decide what to do? That to me seems like og> leaving your front door open and letting anyone walk in og> unannounced/uninvited. No it's like having a postbox infront of your house where anyone can put mail in, instead of a locked box where only the postman and you have a key.
