I don't know if there is specific for that in Mystic, but I'm pretty sure you can do it by using a gateway. There is software that routes mails to fido-like networks. And you could setup a point and route that to your point netmail which could be an area in Mystic. I don't remember exactly but I used something called a UUCP gateway back in the 90s to route emails to fido, I will try to find which was exactly the software I used.
