For those of you running Synchronet / SBBS-Echo and with feeds with my system, a very friendly reminder to please double-check your setups to ensure that
any packets destined for my system are in fact destined for my system. Please take a moment to check your logs if in doubt.
I'm curous why/how this would be a Synchronet / SBBSecho specific problem. you have any details?

Yes. The systems in question are sending Echomail packets that are not destined for my system. When the Sysop fixes their SBBSecho config, the problem is resolved.

Do you have any details? What about their SBBSecho config needed fixing exactly?

what i run into is when removing linked systems that are gone or have move to another feed is that you have to manually remove them from the areas.bbs if they don't send an areafix delink message... so what
happens is sbbsecho sees them in the areas.bbs file, packs the mail, sees there's no link to them, and uses the overall (eg) 1:ALL to send the echomail upstream...

Sounds like that is something that could potentially happen to any
tosser that uses an AREAS.BBS file and performs zone forwarding.
in your other situation, it is like above... what i have done to stop those loops is to make sure i have a catch-all routing for my /0 node(s) so that errant mail gets routed to my /0 and will sit here...
