    g0> One challenge I could use suggestions on for the community is what   
    g0> happens when a netmail is flagged direct and there is no nodelist entry   
    g0> or the entry is there but the system doesn't answer or doesn't have an   
    g0> IP address/hostname etc.   
      
   If there's non delivery after X attempts I'd suggest an auto netmail to the   
   sender is generated and something to sysop as well / noted in MUTIL logs.   
      
   Not sure if the logic is in there but if a netmail is routed to another Mystic   
   system and the routing at destination sends the netmail back to the originating   
   system... and you start getting a back and forth loop happening... there needs   
   to be something there to detect this, cease the loop and send a netmail to the   
   sender and sysop of the source system alerting them to the failed delivery...   
      
   Nice to see you active, hope things are going well.
