Hello folks,

I am using Mystic as a Hub for region 80.

My routing table is as per below:

Netmail Route (Top-Down Priority)

Route 1:* 2:* 3:* 4:* !4:801/* to 4:902/26
Route 3:770/1 to 3:770/1
Route 4:801/197 to 4:801/197
Route 4:801/200 to 4:801/200
Route 4:801/201 to 4:801/201
Route 4:801/161 to 4:801/161
Route 4:801/189 to 4:801/189
Route 4:801/188 to 4:801/188
Route 4:801/194 to 4:801/194
Route 4:801/10 to 4:801/10
Route 4:801/202 to 4:801/202
Route 4:900/108 to 4:900/108
Route 4:801/203 to 4:801/203

So, apart from the locally connected nodes, everything should be routed to 4:902/26, right?

However, I have received a netmail from Z3 as such:

+ Oct 22 12:30:11    Importing 0d619a84.pkt (4:900/108 to 4:80/1)
+ Oct 22 12:30:11    Route (Paul Hayton@3:770/100 to JAS@4:900/733) via 4:900/108

And 4:900/108 should not receive any netmail from me.. this netmail towards 4:900/733 should have been routed over 4:902/26... Any specific change I should do on my routing table?

.... There is an exception to every rule, except this one.
