TP> Does this work for you? I also have FrontDoor running (well, running,

TP> its primary nodelist?
Should not matter, as long as the defined nodelist in Rex is a valid one :)
When I setup new nodes my Rex uses the nodelist to pre-fill certain entries for
me, otherwise I don't know what it does otherwise {chuckle} as I don't use
anything else that requires it. {shrug}
If you are writing a Netmail to a FIDO address NOT in the Rex config, it may
try to validate this before sending, or not ... but should not need it. If you
want the INA: setting address for that node I would expect Rex to look for a
Rex defined node with that Node addy and grab the IP from there (i.e. BinkP
node).
Rex is not a full-featured, bells & whistles type IP mailer like Mystic is, BUT
what it does do I've found it does do it well!
