As I recall, you need two D-RATS stations. For it to work over an RF link, both stations would need to have radios and at least one of them needs to be Internet connected. Then you need to direct the e-mail message from the RF d-rats station to the d-rats station that is RF connected and that is set up to allow mail forwarding to the Internet. I don't remember exactly how to specify that.<br><br>It's been a while since I tried this an an experiment, but it does work.
I also saw that ops were successfully forwarding Internet e-mail last night
as part
of the exercise for N9DN's Tuesday D-RATS net on d-rats.com:9001.<br>
<br>
I see that there is a "HOW TO" document for this. Take a look at:<br><span>
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.d-rats.com/documentation/4-howtos/5-internet-email/">http://www.d-rats.com/documentation/4-howtos/5-internet-email/</a></span><br>
and see it that does not answer your questions.<br>
<br>
If not, I'll be on d-rats.com:9000 this evening, we can try and work through it then. If we can't figure it out, someone will be online that will know how (maybe N3TSZ?)<br><br>73,<br>Mike, N0SO<br><br></div><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> William Waters <engineer1@surewest.net><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> drats_users@intrepid.danplanet.com<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Wed, July 21, 2010 11:17:19 AM<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> [drats_users] D-RATS email<br></font><br>

<p class="MsoNormal">OK – sometimes I can’t see the forest because of
the trees, and I assume this to be the case here. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">My goal – Send an email from a Radio connected D-RATS
client to an internet email account. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I must be missing something as I can’t figure out how
to do this. If I select “Connect to Internet” and use the <a target="_blank" href="ref.d-rats.com:9001">ref.d-rats.com</a>:9001connection
I can send emails and receive them just fine… But not via the
Radio.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- I link my local repeater W6DHS__B to REF015C and get the
voice notification that it is linked</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- I verify the link by looking at the REF015C dashboard and
see the linked repeater in the list</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Go into the ‘Chat’ mode and ‘Ping’
and see that the radio keys and that it looks to be talking.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Disable my internet connection by turning off the WiFi in
the notebook and ‘un-check’ the Connect To Internet selection (if I
don’t do this the email come and go with no radio activity so it has to
be going over the internet connection)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Compose an email and try to send it as I do when connected
via the internet.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Nothing ever is sent, message sits in the Outbox.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, I know that I am close; What I think I am doing wrong is
that I am not sending my email via the right path. Actually I don’t
know what path to use. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Q: IS there a device out in the D-STAR universe that I can
rout emails through when using the Radio Link?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Q: Can I set up my own device to send the email to that will
then forward them on to the internet? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Q: Can I use a second computer running the D-RATS Network
Proxy application with no Radio connection, Internet only to rout the emails
through? </p>

emails to the internet?</b></p><br></div>
