Hello,

Im new to Mystic and when I sent messages to Areafix on some systems it responds to SYSOP instead on to Al Miller and I cant read messages marked private that are not to Al Miller. Is there an access that lets me see all messages.

Also I noticed if I use find messages with SYSOP in them it finds the
messages which may or not be a bug.

Ideas?

Thanks Al.

Mystic is designed that way. Even if you are the sysop you can't read messages that are not addressed to you.

In order to import those message to you you'll need to use a forward line in the ImportEchoMail stanza of your mutil.ini when tossing incoming mail.

forward = sysop;Al Miller

Thank you I added that and it works fine for that case.

Note the search function finds and displays the messages though so if thats
the intent there appears to be a hole in the security.

Does it allow you to see that message? I suppose private messages on a BBS can be called secure from a BBS interface point of view. All these messages are stored in files on your hard drive.. so.. :)

Yes - I can see the whole message. I agree the file is sitting on my hard drive anyway - just wasnt expecting to be blocked from reading private messages. Especially now where my BBS has bascially 1 user ---> me. In he good old days where my original BBS was always in use by others I might have understood protecting PVT messages from the Sysop.

Thanks for your help - that solved the actual problem I was having.
