What is Netmail
---------------
Netmail is a service available to bbs users that will allow you to
send a message to any user in the world depending on weather or not your
sysop allows it. It is a direct bbs-to-bbs mail system in which a
message is entered on a system, sent to another system, and read by the
user that it is intended for. Lot's of systems only support local
netmail due to the cost involved in calling up the destination system.
When you enter a netmail message, you must also enter a net and a node
number of the destination system you intend for the message to be sent
to. For more information on net/node numbers, see the help file
pertaining to them.
Typical netmail topography:
Source system -------message--------> Destination system
