X-Hacker.org- Reference Manual for GoldED 2.51 - Norton Guide http://www.X-Hacker.org [<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]

     If set  to Yes,  GoldED will  check the  systemname in the nodelist
     when doing a  lookup and if  the systemname looks  like an Internet
     address (contains an '@' char),  the msg will be addressed  to that
     Internet address using the INTERNETGATE name/address if defined.

     For  example,  let's  say  there  was  something  like  this in the
     nodelist:

         ,999,somebody@somewhere,Whereever,Some_Body,...

       And this in my GOLDED.CFG:

         INTERNETLOOKUP Yes
         INTERNETGATE 2:230/9316

     Then if I did a lookup  of "Some Body" and selected the  entry with
     the Internet address, GoldED would make a msg looking like this:

         --------------------------------------
         From : odinn@winboss.dk     2:236/77
         To   : somebody@somewhere   2:230/9316
         Subj : whatever
         --------------------------------------

     Or if my gate was defined as "INTERNETGATE UUCP 2:230/9316":

         --------------------------------------
         From : odinn@winboss.dk     2:236/77
         To   : UUCP                 2:230/9316
         Subj : whatever
         --------------------------------------
         To: somebody@somewhere

     So  what's  the  use  of  all  this?  It  allows  you  to  make   a
     nodelist-style list  of users  with Internet  addresses and  use it
     with GoldED so that you can do a lookup of normal names instead  of
     trying to remember strange Internet addresses. Of course  something
     similar  could  be  done  using  the  ADDRESSMACRO's,  but with the
     nodelist approach, you could build a "network" of users which  have
     offline Internet  access via  FTN-gate software  and distribute the
     nodelist for automatic processing.
