One part of the Mystic echomail system that remains cloudy to me is the "Routin Info" section of "Echomail Nodes" in mystic configuration.

For Fidonet I put this for Routing Info: 1:*

I'm in Zone 1 (Northeastern USA) - so is that good?

The reason I'm asking, is because someone on Fido had recently said he
thought I had my filenames crossed (or something) because he said that certain conversations were turning up in the wrong echos. I confirmed that my echo
tags were correct, so now I'm scrutinizing everything else in my setup.

If that routing info looks correct, what else besides echo tag/filename could cause that problem? (Threads turning up in the wrong echos)

This field is used just for letting Mystic know what to do with Netmail.
So when you send netmail Mystic will look at your defined echomail nodes to figure out which one to use to route netmail to.

In your case you're saying Fidonet zone 1 netmail route via this echomail
node.

You may want to ensure you have routing set up for zones 2,3,4 also... either via that echomail node or a combo of others. I'm based in Zone 3 and run 3:770/1 so if we set up a link you could route Zone 3 traffic via my system
if you wanted? Just an option :)

With echomail the echo tag e.g. FSX_GEN are key... you just want to check
that those tags are correct for each echo and are being exported to the
correct echomail nodes... so you wouldn't want to export Fido nodes to your fsxNet HUB or the other way around :)

Hope that helps

Zone 1 is all of North America
Zone 2 is Europe
Zone 3 is Austalasia, Africa and Asia
Zone 4 is Latin America

You should route 1:* 2:* 3:* 4:* to your fidonet hub.

Thanks for this explanation. I think these settings should be fine then. I was just concerned that I was causing echomail to end up in the wrong echos, but this shouldn't affect that.

I'm going to test it out now and see if they reply to me without any problems in that echo.

Thanks, I will keep it that way.

I think I had seen messages there which said your messages were in the right area.

I have 1:* 2:* 3:* 4:* in there. That way any netmail that I may send to those four zones will be routed through my hub.

Check the filename of your echos as well. I made this mistake when I was cloning bases and updated the echo tags, etc but forgot to update the filename. So I thought I was posting in one echo but when I ran mutil it was picked up by the first echo with that filename.

They were ok. I think the guy who was talking to me on Fido was wrong about me having a configuration issue, and it seems more likely that it's he who has
the issue. I'll try to help him if I can.
