IVnet Internet E-Mail Gateway Project
Rules, Regulations, and Information
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i.   What is the IVnet Internet Gateway?

        The IVnet Internet Gateway Project is an optional service that is
        being provided by Intuitive Vision Computer Services.  This service
        allows IVnet nodes participating in the project to send internet
        e-mail messages through the IVnet Gateway Address.  This is a
        SERVICE, and Intuitive Vision Computer Services is NOT required to
        maintain this service indefinately.

ii.  How does the Gateway work?

        The IVnet Internet Gateway works in the following manner:  Intuitive
        Vision Computer Services maintains a UUCP account with an Internet
        Service Provider, and will send and receive e-mail to the internet.
        Those IVnet nodes that are participating in the Project will send
        netmail addressed in a specific way to the Internet Gateway address
        and the IVnet Internet Gateway will process this netmail and convert
        it to an internet e-mail message to be sent out.  Incoming e-mail is
        processed at the Internet Gateway and converted into a netmail for
        the system that it is addressed to.  This netmail is then processed
        and routed accordingly.

iii. What will my address be?

        Your address will be as follows:

        user.name%fnode.nnet.zzone[.ppoint]@ivsoft.com

        an example of this is:  George Roberts for 411:100/101

        george.roberts%f101.n100.z411@ivsoft.com

        user.name is the name of the user in the netmail message, with all
        spaces converted into '.'

        Again, this is highly dependant on exactly what the name is that
        appears in the netmail message.  If you are running a BBS/Message
        software that allows aliases in the message bases, and you set the
        base you are using to create e-mail messages from to use aliases,
        the address may very well be something like:

        sir.twist%f101.n100.z411@ivsoft.com

        It is up to you if you wish to use real names or aliases in your
        internet e-mail, but the part of the address from the % on is NOT
        configurable.


iv.  How do I send an e-mail message?

        To send an e-mail message, you need to send a netmail message
        addressed to UUCP at 411:411/5 (the internet gateway address).  The
        first line of text should be:

        TO: <address>

        followed by *A BLANK LINE*.  If your BBS/Message reader software
        supports UUCP gated e-mail, it should take care of this for you.  See
        your software documentation for more information.

        Example:

        From: Dan Jones, 411:411/0
        To  : UUCP     , 411:411/5
        Subj: Whatever...

        Hi Kevin!



v.   Conclusion

        The IVnet Internet Gateway Project is a project that is provided as
        a service to IVnet.  Intuitive Vision Computer Services is happy to
        provide this service, however, we do reserve the right to terminate
        this service at any time, as circumstances dictate.  We also reserve
        the right to refuse this service to any nodes, again as circumstances
        warrant.

        If you have any questions regarding the setup and/or operation of
        the IVnet Internet Gateway Project, you may send a netmail to
        George Roberts at 411:411/2.
