    PH> So confirming Route Info for the echomail node 2:292/854 defined at   
    PH> 4:80/1 has 2:*  ?? Just checking I understand this.   
      
       Correct.   
      
    PH> Also does 4:80/1 have any other echomail nodes with Zone 2 systems that   
    PH> are defined and active or is 2:292/854 the only one?   
      
       Is the only one.   
      
    PH>   
    PH> Understood, so this just means any netmail you send is sent quickly off   
    PH> to it's next hop.   
      
       Correct.   
      
    PH>   
    PH> this sounds correct.   
    PH>   
    PH> I am assuming your system routes all netmail to your HUB 4:80/1  ?   
      
       Yes, it does.   
      
    PH> Do you have any other echomail nodes setup with systems in Fidonet on   
    PH> your BBS?   
      
       No, just the HUB does.   
      
    PH> Based on the rule 2:* you have stated at 4:80/1 then Mystic would look   
    PH> to that to route all Zone 2 netmail via 2:292/854  ...so that behavior   
    PH> is also expected at the HUB system.   
      
    PH> Mystic will check to see if you have a direct connection with a system   
    PH> you are sending netmail to and if it find that, it will route the   
    PH> netmail directly to that echomail node and not look at the Route Info   
    PH> line you may (I am assuming here) have set up for your HUB system ...   
    PH> presume something like a Route Info statement like 1:* 2:* 3:* 4:*   or   
    PH> similar?   
      
       But that is the point... If I have the CRASH flag enabled for Netmail,   
   Mystic should (according to the FTSC specs) read the nodelist, find out the   
   Binkp address for Bjorn's system, and issue an unsecured session towards   
   2:203/0. That is what the other mailers do, and that is why we have nodelists   
   in the first place...
