If sending a netmail, you'd need to know my name and address (which is not what
you put - the address is wrong, check my origin line. :) ).  And bang paths are
not used on Fidonet.

Netmail addresses are normally username at address (they're entered separately
in most BBS software), but Synchronet does use the familiar username@address
format. :)


.... Logic and practical information do not seem to apply here.
