AM> Netmail seems to be ridiculously unreliable - Fidonet wide! -

The fundamental problem with routed netmail is that it depends on
accurate routing data. Quite different to how echomail is handled.

AM> the one type of mail that needs to be the most reliable...

You could just crashmail direct to the destination. Use FrontDoor, its
dead easy to setup. Bit big with a full nodelist is the only real
imperfection, but even thats no big deal if you strip it back to say
just Aust.

Then you can file file attach and freq properly too without getting up
the noses of other sysops.
