It doesn't. There are some add-ons that allow sysops (users?) to browse a nodelist for names/addresses (e.g. to send a netmail), but I think that's about it with regards to a FidoNet nodelist. I haven't used a nodelist for fidonet in decades, personally.

I guess my question was badly worded. How does Synchronet send net mail without using a nodelist?

However your mailer is configured to deliver netmail. BinkIt, the mailer that comes with Synchronet, uses the BinkP settings in sbbsecho.ini to find the hostname/IP address of the linked destination node (if configured), or it can route the netmail message (through a hub) if so configured in sbbsecho.ini, or it can use DNS lookups to find the IP address of the node and deliver the netmail message direct (if it supports BinkP/TCP connections).
