Here's a potential solution to your problem. I saved this response to help explain why you want to get your own node number quickly. Thanks to Adept

Just posting a first test post.
Verifying from Mystic Guy vids
Remembering my experience with those videos (and clearly they're still
useful, despite the years that have passed since Avon released them), there's one thing you might not be aware of:
That /999 address is a way to get things going quickly. But the next person
who watches those videos will _also_ use that address, and if they check before you do, their BBS will get those messages, not yours.
So you'll want to apply for your very own node number.
And I believe Avon still handles that, though you might end up on one of the other subnets, rather than the one he runs, as there are a couple of other people helping do the work of keeping FSXnet running.

How long ago did you send your mail?
If you havent heard from Paul (avon) in a day or so, then head over to https://clrghouz.bbs.dege.au, set yourself up and let me know. I'll hook you up on Hub 3 in the meantime.

I sent a request on the 7th July, so not that long ago really, I also sent another one yesterday as I realised the first one I sent was slightly wrong.
Thanks for the offer btw, I will wait it out a bit more and see where we are in a week or so.

Howdy,
Fail: No Origin or Tear line.
This is one of this mystic packet fails.
This one is operator error.
Golded: PID: GED+W64 1.1.5-b20250409
So it might be both then.
I seen these kinds of messages all the time - and my theory of an external mail tool looks like it is a part of the problem.
The question is, is the external tool not set up properly and mystic is blindly sending out the mail, or is the external tool submitting something back that is tripping up mystic.

I think I thought they were caused by an external editor being used..?
They are easy to spot tho, no origin lines, and the seenby lines are
shown.
Most definitely. It's when you use Golded to access your Mystic or Synchronet (or maybe any others, too) message bases without actually defining the use of a tearline and origin line in Golded's config.
There is two "example" config files for Golded, 'simple.cfg' and 'advance.cfg'. It is most definitely defined in the 'advance.cfg' (I just looked), but it is not defined in 'simple.cfg'. If you see the guy around, tell him to put this in his golded.conf/cfg:

The former. If Golded doesn't add these, Mystic definitely should upon export, but I don't believe it does.
It's definitely not sending something back tripping up Mystic. James actually updated his JAM format to work with Golded, but maybe missed this because most people enable the tearline and origin line in Golded. *shrug*

OK, if that is the cause, then great.
ie: PID=Golded, no origin line.
(I think tearline is optional anyway, cant remember, need to check.)
I dont think its an issue with Synchronet, since SBBSecho adds that stuff anyway I think (not noticed anyway with anything other than Mystic so far).
I'll look to put in some validation in to clrhgouz to detect mail packets like this and inform the sender.
I think at moment the packet is rejected completely (I need to double check my code), so my downlinks wont get it, and any mail beyond the offending message in the same packet. (Then I sometimes see a bunch of "I didnt get that message" messages soon after :)

Yeah, it is optional.

sbbsecho forces it's own tear/origin lines. You can't disable it. So in that case, Golded needs to NOT send it's own tear/origin lines.
I'll look to put in some validation in to clrhgouz to detect mail
packets like this and inform the sender.
Don't think you could really go wrong with that, as most other software doesn't do anything remotely close. It either passes it on, or rejects it (most probably just pass it on).
I think at moment the packet is rejected completely (I need to double
check my code), so my downlinks wont get it, and any mail beyond the offending message in the same packet. (Then I sometimes see a bunch of
"I didnt get that message" messages soon after :)
Ouch. Yeah that's not good! In that case, maybe you're better off just passing on the messages, then. But by all means, if your software informs the sender of an error it'll already be doing better than most other softwares that don't say anything.

Nick
