Hi Dave!

Thank you for your intervention.

So the main question is what got your index corrupted?
It would be advisable to check the root cause of that, so that such issues will
be prevented in the future.

That is a very questionable default of Mystic.
I think it is called secure something, and is by default enabled.
It leads to netmails from systems that are not in your config to be marked as
bad.
(that is a good idea for echomail, but a really, really bad one for netmail)

Maybe you want to check your config if that is really the behaviour you want.
And maybe also mention it to the author that it may be a good idea to change
the default.

CU, Ricsi
