Then you should look harder! ;-)

It should also show:

  addr: 1:124/0@fidonet
  addr: 1:124/5015@fidonet

Because these are AKA's of the same system, according to the nodelist!
Now there is no way to deliver mail to the host at address 1:124/0.

I suspect the 5015 nodelist entry is just a commercial line for one of his bbs's and there doesn't actually exist a fidonet system with that nodenumber either separate or as AKA.
And since Mystic doesn't support exchanging mail over telnet with a mailer, those ITN ports are probably just for his bbs login's and should also be removed from those entries. (The nodelist is not a bbs list!)

Also:
- The XA flag should be removed from the Pvt node.
- Node 5009 should be marked Hold (or directly as Down), because the host name doesn't resolve. Or Pvt, if the system still exist, and can only make outbound connects. Or the host name issue could be resolved of course. ;-)
- The 4 Down nodes can be remove by now, they have been listed as such since the 4th of June, while 2 weeks is the maximum mandated period.


Bye, Wilfred.
