[01] HOW CAN I SEND OR FORWARD INTERNETWORKED E-MAIL FROM HERE?
|
|
|
|
If you know a user's email address, then that is basically all you
|
|
need. The mail readers most users prefer here are elm and pine.
|
|
|
|
You can send email from within a mail reader, or directly from the
|
|
UNIX shell with the mail or mailx commands.
|
|
|
|
Say you wanted to EMAIL a person named "Bill Gosper".
|
|
|
|
$ mail rwg@MC.AI.MIT.EDU
|
|
|
|
Where rwg@MC.AI.MIT.EDU is "Bill's" ARPANET email address.
|
|
When you are done with your message to "Bill", just type a "."
|
|
on a single line and then return.
|
|
|
|
Your email address is login@SDF.ORG where "login" is the
|
|
name you use to login to the system.
|
|
|
|
You can use the local email clients from the shell or use the
|
|
POP3 protocol to retrieve your email from 'mx.sdf.org'
|
|
|
|
If you would like to use the SDF SMTP server for sending mail from
|
|
a remote machine, please look into the VPM membership.
|
|
|
|
FORWARDING MAIL and HOLIDAY AUTOREPLY
|
|
|
|
Forwarding is available to ARPA members and above. This is a useful
|
|
feature which can be very helpful if you want to give people your
|
|
SDF.ORG address but want emails sent to it end up somewhere else.
|
|
Just create a file called ".forward" in your home directory with the
|
|
address you want your mail forwarded to. When you want to end forwarding,
|
|
rm .forward
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
$ echo "joe@joeuser.com" > $HOME/.forward
|
|
|
|
If you are going on holiday and want people to get an automatic reply
|
|
to messages sent to you, use 'vacation'; see the "Setting up vacation(1)"
|
|
tutorial at http://sdf.org/?tutorials#advanced for setup examples. When
|
|
you return again, remove or rename the $HOME/.forward file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
|
|
SDF does not condone the sending of UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email),
|
|
threats, sexual solicitations and other annoyances via our systems. Any
|
|
accounts found doing this will be promptly terminated without notice.
|
|
|
|
The maximum number of recipients allowed is 200, which is a very liberal
|
|
amount. If you need to send to more than 200 people at a time, you'd
|
|
should have a good reason. If you would need to send email to a large
|
|
list of people from time to time, you might consider getting a MLIST
|
|
(Mailing LIST) membership.
