What ever you want. ;-) On my system I let uncompressed pkt files, received in my unsecure inbound, be processed automatically. Everything else I get a warning for, so I can inspect it before anything is done with it. og> I'm not a hub, I'm a node. I send my packets to my hub where we've og> agreed upon certain credentials.

Mystic has a buildin tosser, afaik, you just have to configure it to do what you want. ;-) og> I could manually open the packet, read the destination, then forward og> it. You don't have to forward mail in unsecure pkt files (if you are not a host). Crashmail is supposed to only contain mail for the receiving system.
