You're wwelcome! to all those who thanked me for instructions on how to mail from interent to Fido users. But, you have asked "How do I send mail FROM Fido to Internet addresses"? Fido delivers mail to Innternet through gateways referred to as GUUCP or guucp designated nodes on fidonet. Step one, search list of nodes for one wtih guucp designation. List is on the Fido board you are suing. Send a message to that address, called a gateway node, in the "To:" field put" UUCP" (don't include "" marks). Step three, on the first line of the body of message write To: recipient@site.domain (don't write that, though, put in the internet address) Then, hit return twice, to insert two blank lines.. then write your message. NOTE: some fido boards are running special "intelligent" softwaare that can accept an internet -style address in the "To:" filed, but not many do. Best way is to simply ask your sysop, via a message, how to send Internet mail, and ask fo r address of nearest guucp gateway. So there you go. Again, this info and 459 other pages of great info, and stuff on BBSs and Internet is from NetPower Resource Guide... jam packed with info. Contact National Education & Technology Alliance for details on how to order. MC adn VISA accepted. ;-) e-mail neta@holonet.net PLEASE, put your internet-style address at end of any message, so I can figure out any strange addresses quickly. Thanks
