Yeah, you shouldnt need a full list - you can route all your netmail via the hub. I'm assuming anybody crashing you direct should receive OK without one?

I havent played with FD too much. I've been meaning too, but always distracted by something else.

I'm assuming you can tell FD to ignore it, but then the BBS would need tossing tools to put it somewhere, assuming super supports a netmail area in it's message bases.

If you wanted to test it and work it out, you can send a ping to the hub, and it'll reply with a netmail.
