  • DIRECT netmail

    From ogg@1:106/1 to All on Wed Mar 11 20:09:42 2026
    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 mentioned the word EchoMail. I assume you have it set to 'Netmail' and not EchoMail. For HobbyNet, the routing is 954:* Is this the format you are using for the network?

    I'm told that you can use one Netmail conference area to send for all networks, but I assign one for each.
