    FB>    
    FB>     All right, my node is 4:801/188 and I connect to the hub at 4:80/1.    
      
   OK   
      
    FB>     4:80/1 has a direct link to 2:292/854. Route Info at Hub states that   
    FB> all netmail towards 2:* should go through there.    
      
   So confirming Route Info for the echomail node 2:292/854 defined at 4:80/1 has   
   2:*  ?? Just checking I understand this.   
      
   Also does 4:80/1 have any other echomail nodes with Zone 2 systems that are   
   defined and active or is 2:292/854 the only one?   
      
    FB>     4:801/188 has the Crash Netmail flag on at the Configuration part.    
      
   Understood, so this just means any netmail you send is sent quickly off to   
   it's next hop.   
      
    FB>     If I send a message to Bjorn Felten, 2:203/0, despite my nodelist is   
    FB> updated inside Mystic, netmail is routed through 4:80/1 -> 2:292/854 ->   
    FB> 2:203/0 instead of going directly to 2:203/0....    
      
   this sounds correct.   
      
   I am assuming your system routes all netmail to your HUB 4:80/1  ?   
      
   Do you have any other echomail nodes setup with systems in Fidonet on your BBS?   
      
   Based on the rule 2:* you have stated at 4:80/1 then Mystic would look to that   
   to route all Zone 2 netmail via 2:292/854  ...so that behavior is also   
   expected at the HUB system.   
      
   If you are wanting to send netmail direct to Bjorn at 2:203/0 then I'd suggest   
   establish a direct link with him and add his system as an echomail node to   
   your BBS.   
      
   Mystic will check to see if you have a direct connection with a system you are   
   sending netmail to and if it find that, it will route the netmail directly to   
   that echomail node and not look at the Route Info line you may (I am assuming   
   here) have set up for your HUB system ... presume something like a Route Info   
   statement like 1:* 2:* 3:* 4:*   or similar?   
      
   Best, Paul
