Yeah, that was what I was suspecting. I even tried to do a mis poll towards Bjorn's system, but it did not deliver the netmail since it was routed towards 4:80/1 by default.

PH> Mystic has it's own logic as to how it will route netmail. Refer to

Yeah, I did go through the docs and the process is pretty smart actually.

However there is no provision for the crash logic.

Thanks! Will do that.

.... Just another prisoner of gravity!
