It all sounds a bit heavy to me... and given todays climate of nodes opting for multiple feeds of the same echoarea .. the idea of locking out someone via a feed cut seems largely nonsensical.
Perhaps, but say someone wanted an area for just them and their friends, they could whitelist only their friends nodes. Assuming they kept their area available to only a select group on the BBSes, otherwise anyone
could post by connecting to their BBS.
I agree if someone wanted to just have an echomail area for a select
group of BBSes/nodes then you would need a way to whitelist etc. But equally how private is it if anyone could logon to those select
BBS/nodes to read and post to it anyway?
Sure, but that's why you would use security levels to keep only those users you want to see messages see them.
