You are receiving this message due to an interest in how to send mail from
the Internet to FidoNet, or because you have addressed a message
incorrectly and it has bounced here at my gateway.
FidoNet is fully coupled into the Internet. You do not need to know any
specific gateways, just address the message correctly into the fidonet.org
domain, and everything will be routed automatically.
FidoNet addresses can be addressed in the basic format of:
FirstName.LastName@pww.fzz.nxx.zyy.fidonet.org
ww= Point Number (this is usually not needed unless specific to a subsystem)
zz= FidoNet Node
xx= FidoNet Network or Region
yy= FidoNet Zone (Presently only 1 to 5 are valid)
Therefore, as an example, my name David Dodell, resides at FidoNet address
1:114/15. My FidoNet Internet address is:
David.Dodell@f15.n114.z1.fidonet.org
Now, how do you go from a fidonet node to a internet style address? Just as
easy, however, you need to find a gateway on fidonet first, since there is
no automatic routing to internet gateways at this time. For example, you
could use my gateway at 1:114/15 and send a message to the user "uucp"
at 1:114/15.
In the first line of the text, you put the internet style address, followed
by 2 returns, i.e. The addressing is in the form:
To: user@site.domain
For example, to send to my bitnet account of ATW1H @ ASUACAD, the fidonet
message would go to "uucp" at fidonet address 1:114/15. The first line
of text in the body of the message would be:
To: atw1h@asuacad.bitnet
Or to my uucp address: postmaster@stjhmc.uucp
To: postmaster@stjhmc.uucp
If you have any furthur questions, please feel free to write.
Thank you for your interest.
