# Inter-Network Mail Guide
# $Header: netmail,v 1.3 89/11/24 17:52:13 john Exp $
#
# This file documents methods of sending mail from one network to another.
# It is maintained by John J. Chew <poslfit@gpu.UTCS.UToronto.CA>, and is
# posted monthly to comp.mail.misc and news.newusers.questions. Please
# send any corrections or additions to the above address.
#
# 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, and a typical entry looks like:
#
# #F mynet
# #T yournet
# #R youraddress
# #I send to "youraddress@thegateway"
#
# #F (from) and #T (to) lines specify source and destination networks.
# These are currently one of:
#
# applelink Apple Computer, Inc.'s in-house network
# att AT&T's in-house network
# bitnet international academic network
# bmug Boston Macintosh Users Group
# compuserve commercial time-sharing service
# connect Connect Professional Information Network (commercial)
# fidonet PC-based BBS network
# geonet commercial information network
# internet the Internet
# mci MCI's commercial electronic mail service
# span Space Physics Analysis Network
# telemail Telenet's commercial mail service
#
# #R (recipient) gives an example of an address on the destination network,
# to make it clear in subsequent lines what text requires subsitution.
#
# #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.
