  • Netmail Direct

    If I set netmails to crash and direct, will mystic skip the routing set and
    try to deliver that netmail using the nodelist directly to the node?

    Or will it route via my routing instructions for that zones traffic?

    I don't even know the answer to this anymore.

    I think there might have been some in-work progress with the Direct flag going on because Mystic didn't allow Netmail to be set Direct on an individual message basis (meaning you had to set all netmail as direct or none). I suspect its something that was a work in progress and then was sort of forgot about.

    I would have to set up some tests to see where things are with it.

    Its kind of a fuzzy issue. Like, what does Direct flag even do...
    I would think Direct should try to poll the system directly, and you would
    use direct with crash flag.

    I just was trying to figure out with Fidonet and its funky netmail routing,
    if i could set all netmail to Direct/Crash and deliever the mail myself. With everything on the internet this is how it should work. Allow unsecure mail,
    and direct netmail and all netmail will deliever.

    I think its something worth reviewing.

    Just a thought!
