Debbie, Dave and everyone else on the list,
First let me apologize. I should never try to write an email when I am
tired.
First I am using D-Rats ver. 0.3.1 connected to the Internet and am trying
to receive and send email (POP and SMTP). I am able to receive email via
D-Rats. I have D-rates configure to use the Internet. I am able to connect to
the Ratflectors and chat or send forms. I have D-Rats configured to send
outgoing email from D-Rats to my Earthlink email account.
I left the Port at the default. I just called Earthlink and found out that
the port is 587. After setting D-Rats to use port 587 for outgoing email
and waiting over 30 minutes the test email was still in my outbox. I entered
_desloan at earthlink.net_ (mailto:desloan at earthlink.net) for both the Source
Address and the SMTP Username. SMTP server is smtpauth.earthlink.net I
also have entered my password for my email account. Gateway is enabled.
Messages is set to Automatically Forward Messages (enabled) and for testing I have
it set for 15 seconds. I just sent a MEMO to a friend using D-Rats and it
was sent without any problem.
Any ideas of what I am missing. Also I have tried this on both my desktop
(WIN XP) and laptop (Vista) with the same result.
TNX & 73,
Dave N0EOP

Subject: Re: [drats_users] Email
Dave and Dave,
D-RATS can do many things, here's a short list:
-radio-to-radio communications (chat, or messages) with a D-STAR radio or
TNC (both sides have to be using the same thing, it wont work from a D-STAR
radio to a TNC)
-computer to computer communications (chat, or messages) over the internet
using a reflector
-computer to computer communications (chat, or messages) over the internet
to the a D-STAR user over a DV Dongle
-send and receive email over the internet (POP, SMTP, etc.)
-forward messages received over RF to another RF station or the internet
-forward messages received over the internet to an RF station
it's all in the config setup. If it's not sending mail I would check two
things first. do you have the "connected to the internet" checkbox set,
and
is your setup for sending mail right (ports, mode, accounts). then in the
message you're trying to send out, do you have it formatted correctly
(email
address in the right place) and have you set it to forward messages, or
told
it to manually?
Fill us in on what exactly you've tried/settings you're using for outgoing
email (except passwords, don't share those!) where you're putting the email
address, etc. and someone should be able to help you get it working. Also,
post which version of D-RATS you're using, one of the betas or the final
version of 3.1, etc.

D-Star
technology to operate not analogue radio as your Yaesu radio suggests,
unless you are using a hot spot to bridge it to the internet and your
messaging is done via a Digital radio..

I
have been able to configure D-Rats for RF using a Kantronics Kam Plus with
a
Yaesu FT 7800r. I configured Outgoing email and Incoming email to use my
Earthlink email account. I am running D-Rats on my Toshiba laptop with
Vista
OS. I am able to receive incoming email without any problem. However, when
I
try to send an email it just sits in my outbox. What am I doing wrong?
