No. The CRASH flag won't in itself be enough for Mystic to do what you hope it
will do. Also note that just because you may have run the MergeNodelists
function in MUTIL this will only scan the nodelists you point to and build a
text file in the data directory of Mystic. This is in turn used by the
nodelist browser feature, but that feature is like looking up a phone book for
a number, nothing more.

It does not impact on how Mystic deals with netmail (g00r00 may care to jump
in when next active to confirm or update these thoughts ;))

Mystic has it's own logic as to how it will route netmail. Refer to
whatsnew.txt to see what this is. g00r00 has documented it there. Look for
'netmail routing' in that document and read this to understand the steps
Mystic takes.

If you are unhappy with the way Mystic acts, then it's best to post some
feedback to this echo and suggest what you think it could do dif
erently/better etc. and why... and then you will need to wait for the software
author to reply.
