This field is used just for letting Mystic know what to do with Netmail.
So when you send netmail Mystic will look at your defined echomail nodes to
figure out which one to use to route netmail to.

In your case you're saying Fidonet zone 1 netmail route via this echomail
node.

You may want to ensure you have routing set up for zones 2,3,4 also... either
via that echomail node or a combo of others. I'm based in Zone 3 and run
3:770/1 so if we set up a link you could route Zone 3 traffic via my system
if you wanted? Just an option :)

With echomail the echo tag e.g. FSX_GEN are key... you just want to check
that those tags are correct for each echo and are being exported to the
correct echomail nodes... so you wouldn't want to export Fido nodes to your
fsxNet HUB or the other way around :)

Hope that helps
