    My original message never made it out due to having problems getting Fmail
    to pack everything into the proper outbound directories, so here's my message again.

    Anyone using fmail with Mystic here? CO>
    Just a couple of quick questions.

    How do I set it up to process Netmail so that it's properly tossed as well.

    Currently I have a separate netmail base for each network in Mystic, does that need to change (or can it) using an external tosser?

    Once I have all of my areas set up in fconfig do I need to go into Mystic's config and change the export nodes to NONE?


    Already figured out the issue with archivers and have fixed that so ignore...

    Fmail is set up to use pkarc by default it looks like but I get out of memory messages under Windows. I know that Mystic uses infozip. Is it
    safe to use the same commandline that Mystic uses and just put the same commandline in Fmail's config for incoming/outgoing or do I need to
    change that?

    Heh. I'm back. Looong drive.
    I'm sure I'll have some more questions as time goes on. Going to cross post this into the fidonet fmail area as well (maybe the fido mystic
    echo too.) I will unfortunately probably not answer any replies until Monday as I will be out of town at a wedding until then. I may log in remotely tonight. 16 hour drive so going to break that up and stay just sof Washington DC for the night.

    No, I have not used it much at all, and not with Mystic

    How do I set it up to process Netmail so that it's properly tossed as well.

    On the Fmail side, unsure, but it would be pointed at the netmail Jam base
    that Mystic in turn would look at. I guess.

    Currently I have a separate netmail base for each network in Mystic, that need to change (or can it) using an external tosser?

    Again, up to you I guess you can set up seperate netmails bases in Fmail and point to each in Mystic - not sure.

    I am wondering why you are going to all the hassle of using Fmail?

    Once I have all of my areas set up in fconfig do I need to go into Mystic's config and change the export nodes to NONE?

    Yes, I expect Mystic would not export to echonode, Fmail would have to export the packet then BinkD would send it?

    Sounds kinda messy to me.

    Jumping into multiple fidonet up/downlinks for the same echo areas (fidoweb model) and need to make sure I'm not throwing dupes.

    The main reason though is that I still have not been able to solve the
    problem of why Mystic won't toss echomail from my Zone 2 fido hub.

    ..and I have not had time to create a test system to check that packet out.. sorry.. if I do I'll let you know how I get on.

    I finally got it fixed. The zone 2 hub I was pulling from did not have and
    did not seem to want to use a session password. Once I asked again he set it
    up and now everything is tossing properly. I suspected this was the problem
    but wasn't sure.

    Thanks for letting me know, and yes, I agree it's highly likely that was the issue :)
