I have been playing a little with the BBS setup. I have decided to try and get
my netmail up and running.

I have the route statement setup to send my NC my netmait... my routing setup
for my NC says 1:* 2:*... and so on.... From what I know is this... If there is
a netmail for Zones 1 & 2 they'll get routed my NC.

I think I understand that I can prioritize things... If there are systems
hooked up to me I can direct their netmail to them directly as long as I put
them before my NC so as it is dealt with before the global routing command
kicks in...

I have posted several netmails and nothing seems to leave my system. Netmail
says sent but nothing seems to be sent out..

Ooooooh... I run "mis poll route" after leaving messages

Thanx

What you mentioned sounds right. If you want zone 1 and 2 to go to a certain
node then you would set your route to 1:* and 2:* as you have done.

With the latest A48 though most people won't need to set any values for the
route because Mystic does all the routing automatically. Setting up echomail
in the latest A48 is as simple as this:

1. Get details from your network hub and create their entry in Echomail Nodes
2. Enter your network address into Network addresses
3. Enable all the events prefixed with [FTN] in the event editor.

Mystic does everything else for you automatically, no other setup required it
will auto create the bases, send/receive mail as needed, etc! :)

You can optionally add a "step 4" which would be to go into your Server
settings and enable the "BINKP Server" so that you have a mailer running full
time too.

"mis poll route" isn't something you would want to run automatically, just in
case that is what you are doing. There are some tossers I think that use some
sort of "route" command but that is not what this is.

This is just for testing your routing setup. You can type "mis poll route
<address>" and Mystic will print out were it will send netmails that are
addressed to <address>. For example:

C:\mystic>mis poll route 1:1/1

Netmail addressed to 1:1/1 would route to 1:154/10 (FidoNet HUB: Pharcyde)
