The offer was made directly to Nick Andre (and then secondly to anyone else
in that network that wanted to test out their setup), since he is a
longstanding member of Agoranet (the othernet I host). That test echomail
would have went directly from his system to mine (DBridge to Synchronet -
where the problem seems to lie along with Mystic). I could have produced
the logs as well as the packet with proof there is indeed a packet password
included in it. If it wouldn't have been in *his* test.. then it could have
been narrowed down to something specific to some (if not all) DB user's
configurations, etc. Or if it indeed was password protected, he would then
have absolute proof to look further into the matter.

No problem. Keep us (or at the very least, me!) posted with your findings.
DB is one of the few (and probably one out of two closed source) softwares
I keep my eye on and interest in when it comes to updates and future plans!

Regards,
Nick
