From: tim@ufcia.health.ufl.edu (Tim Cera) Date: Sat, 28 Mar 1992 01:57:36 EST Subject: [*] E-MAIL GATEWAYS Hello, The e-mail gateways list is no where to be found and I am posting it again. I am posting the gateways list developed by John J. Chew, my initial attempts were trivial compared to his. Here is my original post . . . Well, I was pretty proud of myself setting up that little chart, not realizing that in the infinite data black hole called the Internet there is already a well supported list of e-mail gateways. Thanks to michael ross mross@square2.sf.ca.us Use Internet to exchange mail between AppleLink and other mail systems. scott kovatch s.kovatch@csi.compuserve.com Tremendous help on compuserve addresses. mike green sougd@hujivm1.bitnet Pointed me to the gateways report. pol jamagne jamagne@montefiore.ulg.ac.be Sent me description of the Digital e-mail gateway. What mike green pointed out was to send a mail message to fileserv@shsu.edu with the line SENDME MAASINFO. The MAASINFO files contain the locations of hundreds of documents - one of them the uploaded e-mail gateways report. I am uploading it just because it is more complete than mine and seems to be supported. Near the beginning of the document is a description of where to get the latest version. happy netting tim cera tim@ufcia.health.ufl.edu ----------- CUT HERE ------------- # Inter-Network Mail Guide - Copyright 1990 by John J.

If you know of any corrections or # additions to this file, please read the file format documentation below # and then mail to me: John J. Chew . If # you do not have access to electronic mail (which makes me wonder about # the nature of your interest in the subject, but there does seem to be # a small such population out there) you can call me between 14:00 and # 18:00 Eastern Time (UTC-4h or UTC-5h depending on the time of year) at # +1 416 425 3818. # # # HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE # # Each entry in this file describes how to get from one network to another. # To keep this file at a reasonable size, methods that can be generated by # transitivity (A->B and B->C gives A->B->C) are omitted. Entries are sorted # first by source network and then by destination network. This is what a # typical entry looks like: # # #F mynet # #T yournet # #R youraddress # #C contact address if any # #I send to "youraddress@thegateway" # # For parsing purposes, entries are separated by at least one blank line, # and each line of an entry begins with a `#' followed by a letter. Lines # beginning with `# ' are comments and need not be parsed. Lines which do # not start with a `#' at all should be ignored as they are probably mail # or news headers. # # #F (from) and #T (to) lines specify source and destination networks. # If you're sending me information about a new network, please give me # a brief description of the network so that I can add it to the list # below. The abbreviated network names used in #F and #T lines should # consist only of the characters a-z, 0-9 and `-' unless someone can # make a very convincing case for their favourite pi character. # # These are the currently known networks with abbreviated names: # # applelink Apple Computer, Inc.'s in-house network # bitnet international academic network # bix Byte Information eXchange: Byte magazine's commercial BBS # bmug Berkeley Macintosh Users Group # compuserve commercial time-sharing service # connect Connect Professional Information Network (commercial) # envoy Envoy-100 (Canadian commercial mail service) # fax Facsimile document transmission # fidonet PC-based BBS network # geonet GeoNet Mailbox Systems (commercial) # ieee-compmail A DIALCOM system supporting IEEE users # internet the Internet # mci MCI's commercial electronic mail service # mfenet Magnetic Fusion Energy Network # nasamail NASA internal electronic mail # peacenet non-profit mail service # sinet Schlumberger Information NETwork # span Space Physics Analysis Network # telemail Telenet's commercial mail service # thenet Texas Higher Education Network # usdamail A DIALCOM system supporting USDA researchers # # #R (recipient) gives an example of an address on the destination network, # to make it clear in subsequent lines what text requires subsitution. # # #C (contact) gives an address for inquiries concerning the gateway, # expressed as an address reachable from the source (#F) network. # Presumably, if you can't get the gateway to work at all, then knowing # an unreachable address on another network will not be of great help. # # #I (instructions) lines, of which there may be several, give verbal # instructions to a user of the source network to let them send mail # to a user on the destination network. Text that needs to be typed # will appear in double quotes, with C-style escapes if necessary. #F applelink #T internet #R user@domain #I send to "user@domain@internet#" #I domain can be be of the form "site.bitnet", address must be <35 characters #F bitnet #T internet #R user@domain #I Methods for sending mail from Bitnet to the Internet vary depending on #I what mail software is running at the Bitnet site in question. In the #I best case, users should simply be able to send mail to "user@domain". #I If this doesn't work, try "user%domain@gateway" where "gateway" is a #I regional Bitnet-Internet gateway site. Finally, if neither of these #I works, you may have to try hand-coding an SMTP envelope for your mail. #I If you have questions concerning this rather terse note, please try #I contacting your local postmaster or system administrator first before #I you send me mail -- John Chew #F compuserve #T fax #R +1 415 555 1212 #I send to "FAX 14155551212" (only to U.S.A.) #F compuserve #T internet #R user@domain #I send to ">INTERNET:user@domain" #F compuserve #T mci #R 123-4567 #I send to ">MCIMAIL:123-4567" #F connect #T internet #R user@domain #I send to CONNECT id "DASNET" #I first line of message: "\"user@domain\"@DASNET" #F envoy #T internet #R user@domain #I send to "[ID=\"attbl!uunet!domain!user\" @UUCP]ATTMAIL/USA" #I or to "[MAIL @NASA]NASAMAIL/TELEMAIL/US" with first line "To: user@domain" #F fidonet #T internet #R user@domain #I send to "uucp" at nearest gateway site #I first line of message: "To: user@domain" #F geonet #T internet #R user@domain #I send to "DASNET" #I subject line: "user@domain!subject" #F ieee-compmail #T internet #R user@domain #I send to "INTERMAIL (134:CMP0817)" #I first line of body: "Forward: ARPA" #I second line of body: "To: user@domain" #I third line of body: "" (blank) #F internet #T applelink #R user #I send to "user@applelink.apple.com" #F internet #T bitnet #R user@site #I send to "user%site.bitnet@gateway" where "gateway" is a gateway host that #I is on both the internet and bitnet.
