hmmm... I see some arcane references to using it in the mystic wiki, and that others are successfully doing it, but nothing about how... 

Are you aware of any good references for a starting place? I don't know enough about the protocols to make any educated guesses yet. 

I did find some references to hooking mystic .dat files directly... meaning Multimail would need to be installed on the same system as Mystic... is that how it is supposed to be done or through QWK/QWKE, Soup, Blue Wave?

Thanks, for any input you have.
