    From Flavio Bessa@4:801/189.1 to All on Saturday, June 30, 2018 10:14:05
    Hello everybody.

    I have an experimental system that uses Mystic and Frontdoor as a mailer.

    I have setup a fsxnet feed to NET 3 successfully. The files are generated, copied into a specific file, a static queue entry was created using XRW32 utility, and crashmailed directly to the fsxnet Hub.

    However, when trying to setup a fidonet feed under the same guidelines,
    Mystic copies the echomail data to the selected directory, but FD is unable to understand that there is outbound mail to be delivered.

    The only difference between the fsxnet config and the Fido config is that the fsxnet mail is delivered uncompressed (*.PKT files only), and the Fido
    config is delivered compressed (*.WE? files only).

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    turn off compression so that FD can read the PKT, see where it is headed and then initiate delivery...

    *OR*

    get mystic to add ARCmail-Attach which means adding .MSG message area support to mystic... then you would set up a netmail area in mystic pointing to FD's netmail area so the two of them share the area... when mystic generates outbound mail, it will place it in FD's outbound and post a netmail to the shared netmail directory... this netmail will be the standard file attach addressed to the destination system with the mail bundle in the outbound being listed in the subject line and all the associated message bits being set... at least the F/A (File Attach) bit... other bits would determine if the mail is on
    Hold, if it should go IMMediately or CRAsh...


    but i may be misreading something since you mentioned the STQ and creating an entry with a utility... i'm guessing you create filebox entries in the STQ? do you have the destination system properly defined? can FD find the destination in the nodelist? is that system qualified in the schedules?
