I'm not sure what your hub is asking you.

A normal netmail may be routed via one of your links toward it's destination. It might also go direct if you are linked with the destination node.

A direct netmail will not be routed, it will be sent directly.

A crash netmail will be sent directly, now.

We used to have schedules where normail, direct and crash were more meaningful than they are today.
