   Hi

   Hi,   
      
   I'm new to MBSE - I've been playing with it for the last few days, and today I   
   finally set it up as my "mail hub". I was a Sysop 25+ years ago (like many I   
   learning), so I'm enjoying getting (back) into this community.   
      
   I started BBSing 2 weeks ago and have also a Mystic up and running.   
      
   Today, I changed my Mystic to be a point for the networks I'm connected with   
   (Fido, FSX ...) with MBSE being the dot zero. While I havent fully tested   
   everything, it appears that netmail is working fine (at least to my hub   
   anyway).   
      
   What I'm having trouble with is echomail. I think the problem is with Mystic,   
   but wanted ask here for a second opinion. Incoming netmail is being sent to my   
   hub, however, when the hub opens the packet the source looks like below, and   
   thus it is being tossed into bad mail because of the wrong source address:

   The From address is definately set as 314:314/180.1 - however all my AKAs (in   
   Mystic) are shown as x:65535/x.1 (where x is fidonet and fsxnet as well).   
      
   If I read the log correctly, does this mean Mystic is writing the wrong source   
   address?   
      
   BTW: I'm running this all on a Pi in Docker - so I dont think that should be   
   part of the problem. (My containers are available if anybody is interested.) I   
   also built MBSE as a Debian deb (for both Pi and X86) if that helps. I    
   probably   
    have some suggestions to improve the build process for "packaging" if that is   
   of interest as well... (Although my experience of Debian is new, historically   
   I've always used CentOS - but debian does make a small docker image :).
