+ | [01] HOW CAN I SEND INTERNETWORKED E-MAIL FROM HERE? | ||
+ | If you know a user's email address, then that is basically all you | ||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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 " | ||
+ | When you are done with your message to " | ||
+ | on a single line and then return. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Your email address is login@SDF.LONESTAR.ORG where " | ||
+ | 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 ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | | ||
+ | as an outgoing SMTP server without prior arrangements. The reason | ||
+ | why is that spammers would take advantage of the open SMTP server | ||
+ | here and cause alot of problems. | ||
+ | of to use sdf's SMTP server is if you are sitting on a local area | ||
+ | | ||
+ | is always down. Then, arrangements could be made so you could use | ||
+ | SDF as your SMTP server. | ||
+ | |||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | a file called " | ||
+ | want your mail forwarded to. When you want to end forwarding, | ||
+ | rm .forward | ||
+ | |||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | $ echo " | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you are going on holiday and you want people to get an automatic | ||
+ | reply to messages sent to you, type " | ||
+ | into an editor where you can customise your reply messages. | ||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | SDF does not condone the sending of UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email), | ||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | The maximum number of recipients allowed is 20, which is a very liberal | ||
+ | | ||
+ | a good reason and you might think about getting a MLIST (Mailing LIST) | ||
