All passwords match, this is getting more weird tho...  If I poll the mystic system from point I can deliver mail which I just found is in the bad area of golded stating I was not active for that area ( I checked my point is active in that area) if I poll the point from mystic machine it delivers mail normally and it gets tossed and auto adds areas not in fidoconfig etc?  This is a real head scratcher...
