    From Mike Dippel@3:640/1118 to All on Thu Jan 27 11:19:44 2022
    I carry several networks and when I joined BluesNet I created a Netmail area for it. For some reason, after I added the new area, the other Netmail areas were no longer associated with the correct network. No matter how many times I corrected it, they were still pointing to the wrong network.

    Can anyone suggest a fix? I deleted the BluesNet Netmail area, then created a replacement, but it just screwed everything up again.

    You should only need a single netmail area for all networks and Mystic does the rest.

    If you do want to use a specific netmail base for each network you should be able to, but you have to make sure you have it set to "Base Type: Netmail" and then each Netmail base you create for each network has to have the "Net Address" field set to your network address for that specific network.
