Here's that routing logic in sbbsecho.c:

        if(nodecfg == NULL && dest.point != 0) {
            fidoaddr_t      boss = dest;
            boss.point = 0;
            if((nodecfg = findnodecfg(&cfg, boss, /* exact: */true)) != NULL) {
                dest = boss;
                lprintf(LOG_INFO, "Routing packet (%s) to boss-node %s", tmp_pkt, smb_faddrtoa(&dest, NULL));
            }
        }


So it looks like the destination point node must not be configured in sbbsecho.ini while the boss node must be configured in sbbsecho.ini for this routing to occur.
