RC's are involved too, but it starts with the NC's, to get the right information to the RC's.

Well, good that you use the most up-to-date version of the nodelist. But that's not what I'm saying. Even if you use the latest nodelist, that nodelist is never 100% up-to-date with reality... So for instance you might block routed netmail for nodes that are already active, but are not yet in the nodelist, because the NC/RC has not yet send in their update...
Routing issues should be solved in the routing table, not by blocking possible legit netmail with a netmail tracker...
Bye, Wilfred.
