It was the SysOp for NET 3 (Deon George).

This was done whilst I was following Paul Hayton's Mystic tutorials on
YouTube. Perhaps I misunderstood some of the material, but don't I need at
least one hub in order to send Netmail: 3:770/1 is the only HUB I have the
credentials for (via the tutorial)?

 At> In addition, I believe your email is bouncing mine and ZC2's replies.

That doesn't sound good; can you advised as to a cause/remedy?


Unlike many SysOps, I'm relatively new to the BBS scene (I have never been a
SysOp before), so perhaps I'm missing part of the big picture?

I've looked for as much info as I can, but as you can appreciate, it's all a
little thin on the ground these days.

Any advice/comment is always greatly appreciated.

Best Regards
