      From: nospam.Paul.Hayton@f100.n770.z3.fidonet.org              On 22 Apr 2024 at 01:26a, Flavio Bessa pondered and said...               FB> On 13 Apr 2024, Paul Hayton said the following...        FB>        FB> PH> Can you give me an example of what's happening now and what you would        FB> PH> like to happen?        FB>        FB> All right, my node is 4:801/188 and I connect to the hub at 4:80/1.              OK               FB> 4:80/1 has a direct link to 2:292/854. Route Info at Hub states that        FB> all netmail towards 2:* should go through there.              So confirming Route Info for the echomail node 2:292/854 defined at 4:80/1 has       2:* ?? Just checking I understand this.              Also does 4:80/1 have any other echomail nodes with Zone 2 systems that are       defined and active or is 2:292/854 the only one?               FB> 4:801/188 has the Crash Netmail flag on at the Configuration part.              Understood, so this just means any netmail you send is sent quickly off to it's       next hop.               FB> If I send a message to Bjorn Felten, 2:203/0, despite my nodelist is        FB> updated inside Mystic, netmail is routed through 4:80/1 -> 2:292/854 ->        FB> 2:203/0 instead of going directly to 2:203/0....              this sounds correct.              I am assuming your system routes all netmail to your HUB 4:80/1 ?              Do you have any other echomail nodes setup with systems in Fidonet on your BBS?              Based on the rule 2:* you have stated at 4:80/1 then Mystic would look to that       to route all Zone 2 netmail via 2:292/854 ...so that behavior is also expected       at the HUB system.              If you are wanting to send netmail direct to Bjorn at 2:203/0 then I'd suggest       establish a direct link with him and add his system as an echomail node to your       BBS.              Mystic will check to see if you have a direct connection with a system you are       sending netmail to and if it find that, it will route the netmail directly to       that echomail node and not look at the Route Info line you may (I am assuming       here) have set up for your HUB system ... presume something like a Route Info       statement like 1:* 2:* 3:* 4:* or similar?              Best, Paul              Kerr Avon [Blake's 7] 'I'm not expendable, I'm not stupid and I'm not going'       avon[at]bbs.nz | bbs.nz | fsxnet.nz              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
