I just need to get understanding and what's what with Mystic in terms
with a message board setup to be NetMail. What does "export-to" do on NetMail? Is it needed? If there is no defined exports, I notice mutil exports netmail and routes it outbound to the host according to the
Nodes routing stuff.
Nick and I are trying to analyze an interesting scenario where I sent Janis Kracht a NetMail, it exported from my system, delivered to his,
and then directly from him got sent to Janis's system unsecure.
I have no exports setup in the NetMail message base, and I've always
seen it export and deliver to the node that's setup with a matching
route detail, which could be Nick's, could be my NC, and it goes to that host accordingly, accurately from my end to the next hop based on route.
Netmail routes based on the routing configuration, just like it does for everything else you could use. You are not exporting netmail to echomail links; they are two separate things.
There was a bug at one point that violated this rule, but I think that was fixed like a year+ ago (hopefully!)? It should all be in the whatsnew.
The only difference I can think of that may be "atypical" in routing is that Mystic will directly route to a node if you directly connect to
them, without you needing to implicitly define any route information to them.

Okay, so this sounds like exactly what it should do, unless you are connecting to Janis directly and have routed it to her? Maybe I'm
missing something but it sounds like this is right, without knowing more detail.
Right and that seems to be the actions that you described above? What is specifically that you think is wrong?

Honestly I think it's just a misconfiguration somewhere on his part. He'd mentioned something about binkd.txt, and if I see this correctly, that basically is a nodelist translated into a binkd include file without any kind of passworded sessions, as-if in order to deliver mail directly to
a node listed within it.

Probably something like this: http://www.filegate.net/ipfn/i-binkd/BINKD.TXT
But, of course, no password. BinkD was just like, "Oh, Here's that
node! I can just send it directly there without a session password",
and it did. And Janis's system accepted it, but that doesn't get
tossed because it's unsecured. hehe.
netmails from insecure sessions go into the binkd insecure directory
if one is configured as such... if janis and nick set up a secure
password between their systems, this shouldn't happen again...
