With Mystic, if:

./mystic -cfg -> Servers -> Configure Servers -> BINKP -> Allow Unsecure

Is set to yes then it will accept packets from anyone that are not compressed and then toss them.  If the packet contains a netmail message which is not addressed to your system it will follow your routing table and forward the message onward.  If it is addressed to your system it's placed in your netmail base.

If the packet was compressed it would be renamed as bad.  If the packet was not compressed but contained echomail messages, those messages would be marked as bad and either discarded or moved to your BAD base depending on how your system is configured.

I've received node applications here before that would have been tossed, but because the .PKT was compressed into an archive (e.g .FR0) it was renamed as .BAD.
