I have 1:229/426 configured in sbbsecho and tried sending mail to a point off of
 Nick's system. I saw this in my log:

 5/25  10:45:07p  BINKOUT Connecting to 1:229/426.3@fidonet at p3.f426.n229.z1.b
inkd.net:24554
 5/25  10:45:07p  BINKOUT Connection to p3.f426.n229.z1.binkd.net:24554 failed (
Error: No such host is known. ).

So, it looks like sbbsecho is treating a 4d address literally and trying to send
 directly to a point.

What I think it should be doing is evaluating the zone:net/node portion of point
mail and sending the mail according to the boss node's configuration or a wildca
rd configuration that applies.
