Post a log file sample and what your config setup is. Without that information no one will be able to help.

So..... was it indeed your config, or something else? It's usually
good to provide the solution to problems, so that the next person may
not have to go through the same thing.

Apparently but not my mistake but mystic's, it was sending my fiodomail with my fsx AKA and also I had an issue with Golded, I accidentally added a domain @fidonet.org (5D) and @fidonet to try to see if mail went through but it ended up being worse.
I removed all of those from Golded and have not tried net/echo from mystic yet.
Thanks

I would also consciously keep in mind, none of the people assisting
are doing this as "their job" (i.e. they are NOT being paid).
I have ran BBSs since the early 90's, and the community is like a brother-hood. While at (MANY) times there are moments of frustration,
try to keep in mind that everyone wants to help.
(my 2 cents) take it or leave it.

Well, I'd have to say that Mystic was only doing what you configured
it to do... If it was sending Fido mail with the FSX AKA, it must
have been because you configured it that way. There is no other explanation.
Not sure how Golded would have affected that, and wondering why you'd
even want to use that when just starting out. But that's your choice,
and that's OK. Again config problems, though...

I see. Well, good luck and hope it works. Thanks for the update.

No, I think it was something to do with my uplink too, I was presenting all my AKAs and it would reject mail, then I had to create separate events to poll with 1 AKA first, then the other, but yeah I get what you say and respect it.

That was my setup back in the 90s, FD+Fastecho+RA+GoldED.

For the record, and future reference:
If you and your uplink have more than one matching zone number (ie:
you are both in multiple, similar networks, whether linked via those networks or not) binkp's standard is to take the FIRST aka that
matches.
For example, if you both have a Fidonet zone 1 address, and you both
have a FSX zone 21 address.. if the zone 1 address is listed first,
when you poll your FSX uplink it will try to negotiate with the zone 1 address.
Sometimes this gets in the way of doing what you want to do, however.. with Mystic you can do a couple things:
1) Use the "Hide AKAs" option to only poll your uplink with the AKA
you want it to poll with. This way your uplink's binkp server won't
see your other AKAs.
2) Setup the same (it must be the same) binkp session password to your uplink for every zone you both have. This way the first matching zone number that makes the negotiation will pass as secure.
Note: Don't do both of the above options at the same time. One or the other.. or you will probably have a slew of other issues.

Now for anyone watchin, this is a *great* response, someone willing to help.
OK, I will have to do that because during my *own* digging, I turned it
on and off to see if things worked, until *I* found that a combination
of things helped me solve the issue.
I do have this setup this exact same way, all passwords are the same for my uplink.
I will check and might have to change some of my setting and lean for option one, I checked and I *do* have the Hide AKAs ON for both links to Deon, might the same session password for both be disturbing my polls.
I do have some issue when I *mis poll force*, first attempt which poll
my uplink simultaneously using both AKAs, fails, when I issue the
command a second time it goes trhough and I think that's exactly what
you wisely mentioned.
Thanks a million Nick

I replied to you multiple times when you had questions earlier about Mystic and/or Golded, but you only replied once. Maybe, whatever
issues you were having caused you to miss some messages?

This is generally just a safe precaution to do, depending on what
software you're connecting to. Some are more strict than others when
it comes to this.

See below. It sounds like you're using Deon for two networks, so when using "mis poll force" it will poll him twice at the exact same time, which could very well cause an issue when trying to authenticate.
I do have some issue when I *mis poll force*, first attempt which
poll my uplink simultaneously using both AKAs, fails, when I
issue the command a second time it goes trhough and I think

You can try different methods as well, like try /not/ using "mis poll force", if you can. Try setting up separate timed events (which you
can stagger 10 minutes apart of something) for each network callout,
and use "mis poll <node>" instead. This will separate the polls so
that no confusion can be made as to which node number you're using, or connecting to.
Early on, I always had issues with the "force" option as well, but
then again, when I have Mystic running, it polls my hub for 4-5
networks. So running "force" would basically connect to myself and try
to authenticate 4-5 times, at the same time.. which never worked well. Creating a separate poll for each network is what worked for me.
I imagine the "force" option works much better if you had /different/ uplinks. For example, you had 3 networks, 3 separate uplinks. "mis
poll force" would connect to all three of them at the same time and
get your mail for each network. I just don't think it works as well
when you have 2 or more networks with the same uplink.
No problem! Enjoy the hobby!

Nick
