   What you mentioned sounds right.  If you want zone 1 and 2 to go to a certain   
   node then you would set your route to 1:* and 2:* as you have done.   
      
   With the latest A48 though most people won't need to set any values for the   
   route because Mystic does all the routing automatically.  Setting up echomail   
   in the latest A48 is as simple as this:   
      
   1. Get details from your network hub and create their entry in Echomail Nodes   
   2. Enter your network address into Network addresses   
   3. Enable all the events prefixed with [FTN] in the event editor.   
      
   Mystic does everything else for you automatically, no other setup required it   
   will auto create the bases, send/receive mail as needed, etc! :)   
      
   You can optionally add a "step 4" which would be to go into your Server   
   settings and enable the "BINKP Server" so that you have a mailer running full   
   time too.   
      
    IJ> Ooooooh... I run "mis poll route" after leaving messages   
      
   "mis poll route" isn't something you would want to run automatically, just in   
   case that is what you are doing.  There are some tossers I think that use some   
   sort of "route" command but that is not what this is.   
      
   This is just for testing your routing setup.  You can type "mis poll route   
   
" and Mystic will print out were it will send netmails that are       addressed to
. For example:              C:\mystic>mis poll route 1:1/1              Netmail addressed to 1:1/1 would route to 1:154/10 (FidoNet HUB: Pharcyde)              ...
