I should probably include it into the FAQ (or did I already?)
If you really need to send spcaial mail to your direct link without
extra lines and kludges, make an RFC message template and pass it to
ifmail by hand, bypassing MTA, e.g.:

==============
#!/bin/sh
/usr/lib/ifmail/ifmail FileFix@f1.n234.z5.fidonet.org <<__END__
From: Paul.Jones@f9.n234.z5.fidonet.org
To: FileFix@f1.n234.z5.fidonet.org
Subject: MYPASS
Message-ID: 123@f9.n234.z5.fidonet.org

%LIST
__END__
==============
