   * If a node is still not found then Mystic will look for a zone match, and finally if no zone match is found then the Netmail will fail to route.
-This system allows for Netmail to work automatically without any knowlege of routing being required for most people while still allowing full control for power users.
+To further expand on the automatic Netmail routing logic, Mystic will now perform a FidoNet fuzzy zone match when auto routing Netmail.  If a zone is between 1 and 6 they will find a match to a hub which is also part of a zone 1 through 6 if no other (better) routing match could be found.
+To reiterate: For almost everyone, there is never a need touch the Route field in your Echomail node editor.  If you ever want to test where a Netmail will route you can type "mis poll route <address>" and it will tell you where Mystic will route a message to that address based on your current configuration.
+This system allows for Netmail to work automatically without any knowledge of routing being required for most people while still allowing full control for power users.

 Do you wish to use IPV4 or IPV6 when using MIS POLL to connect to this system? Or do you wish to set a preferred connection type and then a fallback type? e.g. IPV6 + IPV4 or IPV4 + IPV6
+=== Server Type ===
+There are four possible options for this setting:
+  * Normal                  : Do not use SSL at all
+  * Direct SSL              : Connect with a direct SSL connection
+  * StartTLS (If Available) : Use TLS when available
+  * StartTLS (Required)     : Always require SSL connection to remote
+The StartTLS Required option will refuse to authenticate with any server that does not offer the opportunistic TLS upgrading. These features require that CryptLib is present and detected by Mystic.
