[drats_users] Email

[desloan at aol.com]

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 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

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.

73,
-debbie, N9DN

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?
