Thanks for looking at this; point mail lingering in my inbound has been
a thing for some time, and it'd be nice to be able to have default rules
handle the mail instead of having to manually re-route it.

Does sbbsecho support a point list? I know that zone 2 has one, but I
don't understand the reasoning behind being able to crash a point. I
thought the whole idea was for a system that wasn't up 24/7 (or
available at all) would use the boss node as an endpoint on the network
and reach out to the boss node instead of being reachable.
