As per the instructions on YouTube (the channel is called "Mystic Guy") I'm sending to 21:1/999, which I understood as being the correct destination for any BBS that hasn't registered yet.

Echomail Addresses.
It would be really appreciated if someone could give me a hand here, as I'm pretty new to these things :)
21:1/999 is what you should set your bbs to under Mystic Config ->
Echomail Addresses
You want to send a netmail message to Avon at 21:1/101
The other option is to send Avon an email at avon@bbs.nz to get him to
set you up as a node and give you all the correct details for the hub
you will connect to.
Avon is the mystic guy on youtube :)
Yep, that's what I've done. It doesn't allow me to send anything though. Let me see if I got this right - 21:1/999 can be used by anyone who's
not yet registered, right? Does it only allow for receiving messages or should it be able to send too? Seeing as my BBS reports the echomail
being sent I wonder if it's just 21:1/999 that's ignoring/blocking my requests?
Yeah.. I've been hesitating over that for a while now ^^;
I'm not too happy to give out my IRL name, but I guess I'll have to, eventually.. My anonymity means a lot to me.
Also I'm not quite ready to have people joining my BBS yet as it's not fully completed (though most of it is themed and it has a few custom scripts).
On that note, is it okay for me to register my BBS on fsxNet and other nets despite being under 18 (I'm 16)? I assume it should be, but I
thought I might ask here as well just in case. I tried contacting avon
on agency.bbs.nz regarding this but I hasn't gotten any reply so far.

You can receive messages on 21:1/999, but it's first come first serve,

I suggest Avon is leaving /999 free for newcomers to set their bbs's
up with and send a test message/request to Avon to join FSX (it's in
his videos)
I would have thought that since /999 isn't setup on any hub it
wouldn't be able to receive mail?
It is setup, just with a password that everyone knows, (ie LETMEIN)
Ah ok but it wouldn't be able to receive crash messages, it would have to fidopoll it?
