    g0> Hi Jonathan!   
      
   Hi!   
      
    g0> I believe FSX has to use a temporary echomail address when you first   
    g0> join. Have you received your permanent address?   
      
   Not yet, although based on Mystic Guy's video tutorials, it didn't seem like   
   that was necessary. Maybe something changed since then, the videos are a bit   
   old.   
      
    g0> If you have then it could also be that FSX does not automatically send   
    g0> older messages and will only send messages that were posted after the   
    g0> time you have joined.  If you are receiving only new messages then you   
    g0> may need to do what is called a "RESCAN" to have it send you historical   
    g0> messages.   
      
   Ah that makes sense. I see the default_rescan in the [ImportEchoMail] section   
   of the mutil ini.. For the ini I was using it's set to the default of R=250.   
   I'm still new to the architecture here, but my guess is that mis POLL uses   
   something else to request a rescan.   
      
    g0> I can help you figure that out if we think that is the correct next step!   
      
   If you can think of any low-hanging-fruit for me to check that'd be cool.   
   Otherwise I'll wait until I get my real node address and start real   
   troubleshooting from there.   
      
   Thanks!
