I once had a fido hub that wouldn't forward any mail nor provide echomail feeds.  He insisted I use "direct" mail.  That led to me finding a new fidonet hub. Also, when originally trying to satisfy this requirement, I found out Mystic wouldn't/couldn't do direct netmail.  With the help of a couple of sysops, I finally was convinced that I couldn't do it without jumping through a lot of hoops.

Yes, it's ultimately getting to it's intended recipient (via forwarding) and I have accepted that.  Every once in a while, the issue creeps up and I will make an attempt to figure it out.  At this point, it may be a losing battle.
