INTRODUCTION
This file documents methods of sending mail from one network to another.
It represents the aggregate knowledge of the readers of comp.mail.misc
and many contributors elsewhere. If you know of any corrections or
additions to this file, please follow the instructions in the section
entitled 'HOW TO FORMAT INFORMATION FOR SUBMISSION' and then mail the
information to me: Scott A. Yanoff <yanoff@alpha2.csd.uwm.edu>.
HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
If you just want to browse the guide manually for information, this is what
you need to know. The guide is organized as a list of entries. Each entry
tells you how to get from one network to another. Here is what a typical
entry might look like:
FROM: mynet
TO: yournet
RECIPIENT: youraddress
CONTACT: contactaddress
INSTR: send to 'youraddress@thegateway'
This means that to send mail FROM a network called 'mynet' TO a
RECIPIENT address 'youraddress' on a network called 'yournet', you
should follow the INSTRUCTIONS shown and address your mail to
'youraddress@thegateway'.

The 'RECIPIENT' record gives an example of an address on the
destination network, to make it clear in subsequent lines what text
requires subsitution.
The 'CONTACT' record gives an address for inquiries concerning the
gateway, expressed as an address reachable from the source (#FROM:) 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.
The 'INSTR' records, 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. If
the instructions consist simply of mailing to a certain address, this
will be indicated by the words 'send to' followed by a quoted address.
If there are alternative addresses, they will be marked 'or to' instead.
HOW TO FORMAT INFORMATION FOR SUBMISSION
Here is what I really want in the way of information. If you are adding
a new network to the list, tell me what its official name is (pay attention
to capitalization), what the name of its responsible organization is, and
what kind of a network it is (academic, commercial, government, in-house
or non-profit). If this isn't clear, look at the examples above.
For each connection, give me an entry that looks something like:
FROM: foonet
TO: barnet
RECIPIENT: baraddress
CONTACT: contactaddress
INSTR: send to 'baraddress@thegateway'
Note that 'contactaddress' must be an address expressed in foonet's native
format, and not that of barnet, since if a user is having trouble accessing
barnet, giving him/her an address on that net to contact for help is not
productive. If there is no contact/postmaster address, please tell me.
If there are more complicated instructions, use additional #INSTR: lines.
Once you've got all the information together, send it to me in an e-mail
message with the words 'INMG update' in the Subject: line. You can in
general expect an answer back from me within a week.

- If this doesn't work, try 'user%domain@gateway' where 'gateway' is a
- Bitnet-Internet gateway site nearby. Finally, if neither of these
- works, you may have to try hand-coding an SMTP envelope for your mail.
