      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A48       MSGID: 4:801/188 0085b28d       REPLY: 3:770/100 f0541f0a       TZUTC: -0300       On 22 Apr 2024, Paul Hayton said the following...                PH> So confirming Route Info for the echomail node 2:292/854 defined at        PH> 4:80/1 has 2:* ?? Just checking I understand this.               Correct.               PH> Also does 4:80/1 have any other echomail nodes with Zone 2 systems that        PH> are defined and active or is 2:292/854 the only one?               Is the only one.                PH>         PH> Understood, so this just means any netmail you send is sent quickly off        PH> to it's next hop.               Correct.               PH>         PH> this sounds correct.        PH>         PH> I am assuming your system routes all netmail to your HUB 4:80/1 ?               Yes, it does.                PH> Do you have any other echomail nodes setup with systems in Fidonet on        PH> your BBS?               No, just the HUB does.                PH> Based on the rule 2:* you have stated at 4:80/1 then Mystic would look        PH> to that to route all Zone 2 netmail via 2:292/854 ...so that behavior        PH> is also expected at the HUB system.               PH> Mystic will check to see if you have a direct connection with a system        PH> you are sending netmail to and if it find that, it will route the        PH> netmail directly to that echomail node and not look at the Route Info        PH> line you may (I am assuming here) have set up for your HUB system ...        PH> presume something like a Route Info statement like 1:* 2:* 3:* 4:* or        PH> similar?                But that is the point... If I have the CRASH flag enabled for Netmail,       Mystic should (according to the FTSC specs) read the nodelist, find out the       Binkp address for Bjorn's system, and issue an unsecured session towards       2:203/0. That is what the other mailers do, and that is why we have nodelists       in the first place...               --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A48 (macOS/64)        * Origin: Saturn's Orbit BBS - Back from the ashes (4:801/188)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 15/0 16/0 19/37 40 80/1 90/1 105/81 106/201 123/130       SEEN-BY: 128/260 129/305 135/220 225 142/104 799 153/7715 203/0 218/700       SEEN-BY: 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/110 111 112 113 206 275 307 317       SEEN-BY: 229/400 426 428 470 550 664 700 240/5832 266/512 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 291/111 292/854 320/119 219 319 2119 322/757 325/304 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 801/161 188 189 193 194 197       SEEN-BY: 801/203 900/108 5075/35       PATH: 801/188 80/1 320/219 229/426           |
