Hi Dan,
Outstanding Stuff.  Let see if I get this new email capability right!?

1. The selection of whether an incoming email is either directed to a
specific station or sent our in Braodcast (chat) mode is made at the account
level. Correct?

2. The email access function allows the "Gateway Station" to set permissions
by call sign either incoming , outgoing or both. Correct?

3. When an incoming email is received to an account that is set up for
"form" relay, an email form will be generated and sent to the station in the
"to" field of the email if that station is allowed incoming email access.
Correct?

4. Given that the answer to the previous question is yes, incoming mail can
only be relayed as a "form" to a specific station if it is in reply to an
original outgoing message as the "to" header has that stations call sign.
Correct?

5. If I am following this correctly, there is no way to send a "form" email
to a specific station from a regular email client as the "to" field would
only have the account name (i.e. donotreply at danplanet.com) in it and not
KK7DS (donotreply at danplanet.com)

I have not yet had time to test it, but will do so tomorrow. I will let you
know of my findings.

Also thanks for fixxing the tie between the "Connected to Internet" setting
and the email piece.

Great Job!

Hi all,

I just posted D-RATS 0.2.9b1 with the following changes:

- Add "destination" argument to incoming email accounts.  "Form" turns
  emails into forms, "Chat" broadcasts the content of the email as chat
  traffic.
- Fix DPRS parsing in the case where the checksum is only one byte
- Enlighten the email forwarding thread about the "connected to
  internet" toggle.
- Add email access controls to allow restricting email forwarding by
  station or destination.
- Add inbound email auto-send.  When email arrives, if a station has
  access, a form transfer will be automatically initiated.

With this beta, you should be able to set your station up to send and
receive mail automatically on behalf of RF stations.  Of course you want  to
only use this in very controlled situations.
