WD> Please explain to me the concept of how a node can be CM, meaning "Node WD> accepts mail 24 hours a day" and at the same carry Pvt meaning "a WD> private node with unlisted number".
Yes that is technically possible. That system is CM for insiders (friends) who know the contact information, but private for all others (strangers). Remember not all contact info should be public, i.e. session- and packet- passwords for instance ;-).
Another view could be: CM for IP-mailers, and PVT for POTS mailers, hence the term "unpublished".
