Subj : Netmail Loops

Hi g00r00,
Had a situation recently where someone sent a netmail to a point address on my system that used to exist but no longer does. Since it didn't match any of the configured points it was routed to 21:* and ended up getting passed back & forth between my system and the hub until the hub noticed & nuked it.
My fsxNet address is 21:3/110
$ ./mis poll route 21:3/110.10
Netmail addressed to 21:3/110.10 would route to 21:3/110.10 (Ogg's fsxNet
Point)
$ ./mis poll route 21:3/110.1
Netmail addressed to 21:3/110.1 would route to 21:3/100 (fsxNet)
$ ./mis poll route 21:3/110
Netmail addressed to 21:3/110 would route to 21:3/100 (fsxNet)
Would it be possible to have Mystic either drop or bounce a message back if it receives a netmail addressed to its boss node address but the point doesn't exist?
