    You can do it either way, whatever works best for you.

    If you want to use a single netmail area don't set an AKA.

    If you want a netmail area per AKA set your AKA for each area. You'll need a netmail base for each zone you are in.

    I just use one netmail area.

    There should be no export to nodes in your netmail base.

    Thanks. I'd like to go with just one netmail area. But when I set this up, I made several, is there a way to move those messages into my single netmail area?

    I'm not sure if Mystic can do this but GoldED can.

    Mutil has an option to export the message areas to a format golded can import so that might work for you.

    Here's a snippet that I was given that helped me get my netmail into one area:

    You're running the latest version, so there's no issue with one netmail area whatsoever. Since it's not letting me copy/paste, I can try to give you a short version of my netmail area's config:

    Name: Netmail
    Base Type: Netmail
    Newsgroup: Netmail
    QWK Name: NETMAIL
    Echo Tag: NETMAIL
    FIle Name: netmail
    Path: /home/user/mystic/msgs
    List ACS: s20(g2|g3|g4|g5|g6)
    Read ACS: s20(g2|g3|g4|g5|g6)
    Post ACS: s20(g2|g3|g4|g5|g6)
    Sysop ACS: s255(g2|g3|g4|g5|g6)

    Net Address: 0:0/0 (Local Address)
    Export To: 3 node(s)

    That should get you started. Take note on the last one above, you're exporting to every uplink's individual address for each network with AKA matching. And list, read, post, and sysop ACS should include every group that is an echomail network that includes a netmail area (g1 here is my Local areas, so not needed).

    The key for me was to have the "group access" in the message area for netmail set to all of the groups that are going to have netmail (ie. s255(g2|g3|g4|g5|g6)"

    Let me know if you need anything else.

    Seems it's not a major problem; when I follow the instructions from ogg, setting the groups in the access levels they seem to move "automatically". Nice.
