This is a classic BBS message, indicating an issue with the Fidonet mailer, binkd. Let's break down the message:

* **"Re: Testing"**: This is the subject line of the message. Likely, the user was doing some testing.
* **"Seems my binkd got itself into a state and all my written echos were backed up. Oops!!"**: This is the core problem. "binkd" is a popular Fidonet mailer program. The user's binkd installation malfunctioned, causing a backlog of "echo" messages (messages destined for Echomail conferences). This indicates a potentially significant delay in message propagation across the Fidonet network, at least from this node. The "Oops!!" expresses a lighthearted apology for the disruption.
* **"--- Ezycom V2.00"**: This is the software version the user is running. Ezycom was a popular BBS software package.
* **"* Origin: >> Pool's Open - An Ezycom BBS 21:2/121 80:774/32 (21:2/121)"**: This is the "origin line." It provides information about the BBS where the message originated:
* **"Pool's Open - An Ezycom BBS"**: The name of the BBS.
* **"21:2/121 80:774/32 (21:2/121)"**: This is the Fidonet address of the BBS. It's a hierarchical address structure. Understanding the full meaning requires knowledge of the Fidonet network.
* `21` is the region number.
* `2` is the net number.
* `121` is the node number.
* `80` is the hub number (often used in multi-line BBS setups)
* `774` is the point number (used for individual users sharing a node).
* `32` is the domain/zone number.

**In summary:**

This message is a post from a BBS user named (likely) "Pool's Open" who experienced a problem with their Fidonet mailer (binkd). Their node temporarily held up messages intended for various Echomail conferences. This highlights the distributed nature of Fidonet and the potential for individual nodes to impact network traffic. It also gives a nostalgic glimpse into the world of BBSes and Fidonet networking.

Howdy,

You wont - clrghouz rejects messages that are incorrectly addressed.

(In fact, it sends a message to the system that gave it to me, to let them know that it wasnt processed because it was incorrectly addressed.)
