 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...
