- 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.
