Hello netmailers
I need some helping in telling a friend how to echo mail back to me from
fidonet. I have successfully sent him mail by using the information in
the Internetwork Mail Guide. I have not been able to impart to him properly
the method for returning mail to me. Can some please describle in simple engli
sh, ie not the macros in the Mail Guide how to send mail from FIDONET to INTERN
ET?
Thanks for your time...
Stuart

This is a little tricky, and the information does come from the Mail Guide... #F fidonet #T internet #R user@domain #I send to "uucp" at nearest gateway site #I first line of message: "To: user@domain" The trick lies in the system where the reply is to be posted to know who is it's uucp gateway--this isn't always easy, and is something the sysop needs to configure. I would send a message (to myself) by entering... From (in the Fidonet mail editor): Ralph Sims To: uucp@1:343/8 (I'm just using this, as I have no idea who the Net 343 gateway is--just an example). Subject: Whatever The first line of the text would read: To: halcyon!ralphs@seattleu.edu, flush left, and containing a valid fqdn (fully-qualified domain name) address. The Fidonet magic spells will be invoked and the message speeds on its way. -- halcyon!ralphs@seattleu.edu The 23:00 News and Mail Service - +1 206 292 9048 - Seattle, WA USA +++ A Waffle Iron +++

Ok, I think I supplied that to him BUT, I will check to see if we can get him another address, what the heck. Can the first line of his message be: To: szh20@amail.amdahl.com Which is my internet address?

The address you posted is a fully-qulified-domain-name (FQDN), which SHOULD be recognized by all mailers above the status brain-dead. -- halcyon!ralphs@seattleu.edu The 23:00 News and Mail Service - +1 206 292 9048 - Seattle, WA USA +++ A Waffle Iron +++
