   I'm new to echomail sysoping.   
      
   I'm carrying Scinet, Metronet, and Fidonet.   
      
   Scinet and Metronet are working fine. I do fidopoll for all 3 of these, and    
   echomail is imported and exported from Scinet and Metronet perfectly fine.   
      
   But not Fidonet. For some reason, my test messages aren't being delivered to    
   my host, and my packets aren't getting imported.   
      
   The way I poll for messages, for now as a rookie, is I run a script (manually)   
   that does this:   
      
   ./fidpoll 77:1/100 (my scinet hub)   
   ./fidopoll 25:25/0 (my metronet hub)   
   ./fidopoll 1:275/100 (my fidonet hub)   
   ./mutil (to import any packets I received)   
      
   I know this is a sloppy way to handle echomail, but it's been ok until I tried   
   to add Fidonet. It's just the Fidonet stuff that's not getting imported and/or   
   exported.   
      
   I bet my problem is with mutil.ini, but I don't know what the issue is. I took   
   a fresh copy of mutil.ini from a clean install, and the only thing I did to it   
   is I set "Import echomail" and "Export echomail" to true.   
      
   Scinet and Metronet are getting imported & exported as expected but not    
   fidonet.   
      
   I have previously merged the nodelists for these nets with mutil, but my BBS    
   is not yet listed on the Fido nodelist. Could that be the issue?   
      
   Does this information reveal anything? What are some things I can look into?   
      
   Thanks!
