    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?
