To anyone out there who has some knowledge
on transfering mail to a BITNET site from
a UUCP site:
Is there a shell script out there for the headers?
What nodes are mailers to the BITNET network? How
are the headers in the mail message set up?
What is the mailing protocol? Please let me know!
Write to me:
...philabs!sbcs!helm!lenny
Thanx!!othello@tesla.UUCP (Mystery) (06/24/86)

I am sorry to post this to the whole net, but our uucp mail is a bit irregular these days. I have written a shell script that allows network news to be automatically forwarded to any "mail" site bboard. It will probably solve your problem. If there is enough intrest, I will post the script, if not I will mail it to you directly. -Michael Culbert othello@tesla.ee.cornell.edu

I think psuvax1 wants to be the gateway. Last time I looked the Columbia mailer on BitNet itself routed anything.UUCP to them. In fact, I think this is the routing stuff from BitNet: <anything>.UUCP psuvax1 <anything>.ARPA wiscvm <anything>.EDU } <anything>.COM } <anything>.MIL } one of the berkeley machines <anything>.GOV } <anything>.ORG } Not that I blame them if they changed their minds - trying to be any kind of a mail gateway is a real headache... -- umd5.UUCP <= {seismo!umcp-cs,ihnp4!rlgvax}!cvl!umd5!zben Ben Cranston zben @ umd2.UMD.EDU Kingdom of Merryland Sperrows 1100/92 umd2.BITNET "via HASP with RSCS"

In fact, I think > this is the routing stuff from BitNet: Psuvax1 has a few problems with it, although the link does indeed work. For one, psuvax1 seems to be out more often then one would think it should be. Second, mail sent through it had a delay time of between 4 minutes and a couple days. These times may not be entirely accurate since I do not have a direct uucp feed to psuvax1, its about 3 hops. > -- Kenneth Ng: Post office: NJIT - CCCC, Newark New Jersey 07102 uucp(unreliable) ihnp4!allegra!bellcore!njitcccc!ken soon uucp:ken@rigel.cccc.njit.edu bitnet(prefered) ken@njitcccc.bitnet soon bitnet: ken@orion.cccc.njit.edu (Yes, we are slowly moving to RFC 920, kicking and screaming) Vulcan jealousy: "I fail to see the logic in prefering Stonn over me" Romulan: "Permit me the glory of the kill"

Bennett To answer both of these questions, the best gateway I know of, and use every other day to send mail to Clarkson <CLVM.. Home of the Twilight Zone Relay Station for the initiated..>, is psuvax1, aka "The Center of the Virtual Universe". To send mail to BITNET from UUCP, simply pick your favorite path to psuvax1!<BITNET node>.BITNET - example: ...!ihnp4!psuvax1!ACCOUNT@CLVM.BITNET would send a mail or whatever file to 'ACCOUNT' on Clarkson's VM machine. To go from BITNET to UUCP on a VM system is REALLY easy; to send mail to UUCP you do this: MAIL <user>@<node>.UUCP Your mailer should automagically route the file to PSUVAX1 or another gateway, and perform the path writing, etc. for you. Try this to get a list of command on PSUVAX1 from BITNET: SMSG RSCS CMD PSUVAX1 HELP <Vaxenites, replace with your command, as for Un*xites> Mail can be sent to the ARPANet the same way, just tack on .ARPA when going to psuvax1.. I love smart mailers! :-) -dg- ...!ihnp4!chinet!helm!dave ...!philabs!sbcs!helm!dave "Just another BITNETter trying to get home.." VM system.

Not everybody runs MAILER (particularly when you are talking about VAX/VMS and Unix BITNET sites which run non-RSCS networking software), and not everybody at VM sites uses the same exec to send mail. People at those places which don't have MAILER should create a file with appropriate "To:", "From:" and "Subject:" lines. An example follows: To: henry@mit-athena.UUCP From: S19984@MITVMA Date: Mon, 14 Jul 86 18:16:20 EDT Subject: this is a test <this line should be blank> Now type your message here. This file should be punched (class M) to MAILER at PSUVAX1. psuvax1 takes care of the rest of the details. >Your mailer should automagically route the file to PSUVAX1 or another >gateway, and perform the path writing, etc. for you. . . . Your mailer should only route the file to psuvax1. At psuvax1, the mailer runs the UUCP pathalias program and thus will expand the UUCP path for you accordingly. >Mail can be sent to the ARPANet the same way, just tack on .ARPA when going >to psuvax1.. I love smart mailers! :-) Wrong, wrong, wrong! The Internet gateway is wiscvm.bitnet (wiscvm.wisc.edu). If your BITNET mailer doesn't support mail to .ARPA, .EDU, .GOV, .MIL, and .ORG you will have to create your message and imbed BSMTP commands in it. You will then have to punch the resulting file to SMTPUSER at WISCVM. This isn't quite so easy as sending mail through the UUCP gateway; you will probably want to write an EXEC/shell script/whatever-you-need-to-write if you plan on doing this often. -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Henry Mensch | Technical Writer | MIT/Project Athena henry@athena.mit.edu ..!mit-eddie!mit-athena!henry
