Isn't that a software issue?

In my particular case - and I am assume the same for most nodes - most mail is
being routed to a specific node, my uplink, so no matter what any other node
flies the mail gets sent.  The only one I can see it negatively effecting is
whoever actually holds the mail for that particular nodelist entry and it seems
that they would require whatever correct flags works for between them.  Thus
all that matters is that both my node and it's uplink get it right as per what
is correct for successfully transfered between us and the rest of the nodelist
entries are of no consequence unless it needs to be.  Are you suggesting that
it does or should matter?

Life is good,
Maurice
