Fidonet addresses are of the form:
  Full.Name@[pPOINT.]fNODE.nNET.zZONE.fidonet.org
Where the original address was Full Name at ZONE:NET/NODE.POINT
If the recipient is not on a point, simply omit the point part from
the address, and use fxxx.nxxx.zx.fidonet.org.  The address you're
showing above has a point, but not a node.  That shouldn't work.  If
you mean to send to 1:3400/17, then use an f instead of the p.  If you
mean to send to point 17 at some node on net 1:3400, then you forgot
the node number (the f part).

Good luck, and read the Internetworking Mail Guide.
