       Ps> I just need to get understanding and what's what with Mystic in terms        Ps> with a message board setup to be NetMail. What does "export-to" do on        Ps> NetMail? Is it needed? If there is no defined exports, I notice mutil        Ps> exports netmail and routes it outbound to the host according to the        Ps> Nodes routing stuff.              Netmail routes based on the routing configuration, just like it does for       everything else you could use. You are not exporting netmail to echomail       links; they are two separate things.              There was a bug at one point that violated this rule, but I think that was       fixed like a year+ ago (hopefully!)? It should all be in the whatsnew.              The only difference I can think of that may be "atypical" in routing is that       Mystic will directly route to a node if you directly connect to them, without       you needing to implicitly define any route information to them.               Ps> Nick and I are trying to analyze an interesting scenario where I sent        Ps> Janis Kracht a NetMail, it exported from my system, delivered to his,        Ps> and then directly from him got sent to Janis's system unsecure.               Okay, so this sounds like exactly what it should do, unless you are       connecting to Janis directly and have routed it to her? Maybe I'm missing       something but it sounds like this is right, without knowing more detail.               Ps> I have no exports setup in the NetMail message base, and I've always        Ps> seen it export and deliver to the node that's setup with a matching        Ps> route detail, which could be Nick's, could be my NC, and it goes to that        Ps> host accordingly, accurately from my end to the next hop based on route.              Right and that seems to be the actions that you described above? What is       specifically that you think is wrong?              --- Mystic BBS v1.10 A52 (Windows)        * Origin: Sector 7 [Mystic BBS WHQ] (46:1/127)        þ Synchronet þ thePharcyde_ >> telnet://bbs.pharcyde.org (Wisconsin)    |
