The auto routing can really simplify things!

You are correct there is a problem with direct flag where it is not routed
directly to the node - the flag does not override anything..

It has been a while so my memory is foggy but I think the reason this happened
is because there was no way to specify the direct flag on a per message level
within Mystic when sending Netmail. It is either every single netmail in the
base gets direct or none of them do - which is a problem that needs to be
resolved first.  Users should be able to per-message direct a Netmail if they
meet a specific ACS level configured.

Once that part is done then the tosser needs to override any auto routing and
send it direct.

One challenge I could use suggestions on for the community is what happens
when a netmail is flagged direct and there is no nodelist entry or the entry
is there but the system doesn't answer or doesn't have an IP address/hostname
etc.

... There is an exception to every rule, except this one.
