• Mystic BBS: Problem composing a netmail

    From goto_KCM@10:102/3 to All on Monday, April 05, 2021 08:36:07
    Hello!

    I have a problem when i try to write a NetMail in Mystic BBS.
    In the message menu with a NetMail Base selected i press "p" for posting a
    new netmail.

    In the "to" field i enter "AreaFix" and hit enter.
    Then a field opens requesting a NetMail Address.
    When i type in, for example, "2:310/31" (fidonet austria node) mystic doesn't ask me if i want to send the netmail to this address (as it should) but shows me all nodes with that address as i would search for this.

    Can someone help me?

    Regards
    Andreas

    The first question is do you have "Force Nodelist match" set to Yes in your Message Settings? If so, it will require you enter a valid address from your nodelist.

    The second question is you're saying its showing you "all nodes with that address." Are you saying you have multiple entries for that same node address?
    There should only be one entry per address.

    Here is an example of what it looks like on my system:

    To: Areafix

    SEARCH BY ADDRESS (? or * = WildCard): SEARCH BY NAME, LOCATION, SYSOP, ETC:

    1:123/? List all nodes in Net 123 John List all matching John
    1:?/? List all nodes in Zone 1 PA List all matching PA
    ?:?/? List all nodes in all zones My BBS List all matching My BBS

    LIST ZONE List all zones LIST NET [Zone] Show all NETs in [Zone]

    Enter netmail address or search criteria (?/Help): 1:1/20

    Address: 1:1/20
    System Name: The North American Backbone
    Location: Zone 1
    Operator: NAB
    Phone: -Unpublished-
    Internet: the-estar.com

    Send netmail to Areafix at 1:1/20? Yes
