Hi everyone,

I'm hoping one of you may have an answer/solution that you can share with me. I've been trying for over 3 years (off and on) to resolve this issue.
Since I started my board in May 2022, I've been able to netmail routed via my hub. However, I've never been able to get a DIRECT netmail to go straight to the intended address. I'm currently using Mystic 1.12 A49. I started with 1.12 A48. I've used both windows 10/11 and currently Linux Mint 22.3. I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to do this. If so, can you share your solution with me?

I have been all over the Mystic Wiki, searched the interweb and played with different settings. The only thing that I can figure is that it's related to the way I've got the EchoMail Node "Route Info" setup. It works for standard netmail but not for DIRECT netmail.

Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks for any suggestions!

You just crashmail the other node directly or the netmail gets routed. I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill here. That's how it's worked for my network and in Fidonet for the last 30 years...

Thanks Sean. That's basically what I was looking for, a definitive answer. I'll drop the search at this point.

Any time. :)

Sorry if I sounded grumpy in my message. I have been under a lot of stress lately and it leaks out sometimes.
