                        (RBBS-NET)

SysOps,

You are receiving this message due to an interest in how to send mail from
the Internet to RBBS-Net.
 
RBBS-Net is fully coupled into the Internet.  You do not need to know any
specific gateways, just address the message correctly into the rbbs-net.org
domain, and everything will be routed automatically.
 
RBBS-Net addresses can be addressed in the basic format of:

FirstName_LastName@fzz.nxx.zyy.rbbs-net.org
 
zz= RBBS-Net Node
xx= RBBS-Net Network
yy= RBBS-Net Zone (Presently 8 is valid)
 
Therefore, as an example, Don Smith resides at RBBS-Net address
8:965/1.  His RBBS-Net Internet address is:
 
Don_Smith@f1.n965.z8.rbbs-net.org
 
 
Now how to you go from a RBBS-Net node to a internet style address?  Just
as easy, however, you need to route your message to the RBBS-Net/Internet
Gateway at 8:914/201.  For example,
 
You would send a message to the user "uucp" at 8:914/201.
 
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 RBOWMAN @ SHARE.ORG, the RBBS-Net
message would go to "uucp" at RBBS-Net address 8:914/201.
 
The first line of text in the body of the message would be:
 
To: rbowman@share.org
 
 
 
If you have any furthur questions, please feel free to write.
 
Thank you for your interest.
