- Sorry about that. I didn't check the instructions I posted very carefully.
- One set didn't mention the host name for the gateway, and the other gave it
- wrong. The correct address for the gateway is postmstr@unislc.uucp. If that
- fails, try sun!unislc!postmstr or att!unislc!postmstr. I also claimed I never
- made the gateway work -- not true; I did verify that the gateway worked, though
- I was never able to establish contact with my intended contactee. Here's my
- own summary of how to use the gateway:
-
- Outside world to Ofislink/Mappermail:
-
- Send a message to postmstr@unislc.uucp (that's postmstr, not postmaster)
- In the BODY of the message, give the address in a #To: line. The number/
- host address is inverted and the slash replaced by a period. For example,
- if the user's address is 4331/EMMK, the line in the body is
-
- #To: EMMK.4331
-
- Ofislink/Mappermail to outside world:
-
- Send a message to postmstr/un49.
- In the body of the message, include a #To: line giving the outside address,
- for example
-
- #To: ed@titipu.resun.com
-
- All formatting (underline, bold, etc) will be stripped off by the gateway.
-
- In both directions you can have multiple addresses, either on a single #To:
- line separated by spaces or on multiple #To: lines. Be aware that messages
- headers will not survive the gateway in either direction.
