OK

 FB>     4:80/1 has a direct link to 2:292/854. Route Info at Hub states that

So confirming Route Info for the echomail node 2:292/854 defined at 4:80/1 has 
2:*  ?? Just checking I understand this.

Also does 4:80/1 have any other echomail nodes with Zone 2 systems that are 
defined and active or is 2:292/854 the only one?

 FB>     4:801/188 has the Crash Netmail flag on at the Configuration part. 

Understood, so this just means any netmail you send is sent quickly off to it's 
next hop.

this sounds correct.

I am assuming your system routes all netmail to your HUB 4:80/1  ?

Do you have any other echomail nodes setup with systems in Fidonet on your BBS?

Based on the rule 2:* you have stated at 4:80/1 then Mystic would look to that 
to route all Zone 2 netmail via 2:292/854  ...so that behavior is also expected 
at the HUB system.

If you are wanting to send netmail direct to Bjorn at 2:203/0 then I'd suggest 
establish a direct link with him and add his system as an echomail node to your 
BBS.

Mystic will check to see if you have a direct connection with a system you are 
sending netmail to and if it find that, it will route the netmail directly to 
that echomail node and not look at the Route Info line you may (I am assuming 
here) have set up for your HUB system ... presume something like a Route Info 
statement like 1:* 2:* 3:* 4:*   or similar?

Best, Paul
