Howdy,

I've done some more updates to Hub 3, which would be great if you can test it out and let me know if you see something that you dont expect (with some debugging details so I can track it).

* Routing
Hub 3 will now only route netmail to nodes listed in the nodelist. Give it a try, send a message to a non existent node (eg: 21:3/333), and you should get a





















































































































































































































bounce back that your message was undeliverable.

* Non existent points
Hub 3 does have some points (in other networks), but like above, if you send a message to a non-existent point, it should bounce back (eg: 21:3/100.99).

* Netmail loops
Hub 3 will now detect a netmail loop, and kill the message if it sees it a second time. (We cant test this just yet - I have the hub in "debug mode", so while it says your mail is undeliverable, it still queues it (and thus to test this would have a netmail ping-ponging back and forth!) - so when I take it out





















































































































































































































of debug mode, it will kill any message (as per above).)

If you see something not working as expected, please let me know...

Very nice. It's good to be prepared for the onslaught of new users! LOL

Well, it would be nice if there was an onslaught of users - sadly, I have doubts we'll see it.

But hopefully now when a netmail is sent to a non-existent address, you'll get a reply instead of wondering why havent they repied (or does this work?).

(I had a few netmails queued up on the hub over the last few months, addressed to future systems :)

These all sound great :)

Thank you for working on this.
