Just want to reiterate to others who may see this to avoid any confusion:

Avon's videos will still work for you but are slightly outdated in terms of echomail setup these days.  Mystic has changed in A47 and A48 specifically to simplify this with a better default install and automatic routing.

To connect to FidoNet with Mystic A47 (and even moreso in A48 because it has a slight adjustment to its automated routing logic specifically for FidoNet) all you have to do is:

1. Set your echomail address in EchoMail Addresses configuration
2. Configure the connection to your hub in EchoMail Nodes (no need to touch routing configuration unless you have very specific requirements).
3. Enable the echomail events in your Event editor
4. Enable/configure the BINKP server if you wish to have a full time mailer running.

Everything else should just work.  You don't have to touch routing, or create .ini files or anything like that these days unless you have a very specific reason to!

... Electricity is really just organized lightning.
