Packet Notes!
If you want a mailbox, just send us an email. We will be happy to oblige! VHF/UHF RMS/winlink packet access is also supported!
To use the internet email function, follow the below instructions:
To send to an internet address without using winlink, connect to W5MCC-5
SP smtp:email@address.xxx (such as smtp:kb5oze@gmail.com) This will send your message to the internet
To have an internet email send to your packet mailbox, they will have to address the message to yourcall+w5mccham@gmail.com (such as kb5oze+w5mccham@gmail.com). The system checks for messages every 10 minutes.
Be advised that all messages that traverse the system are logged, including the content.
Please do not use Outpost to connect to TNC based mailboxes. There appears to be an issue (reported by John, AA5UY), concerning the disconnect process between Outpost & TNC based mailboxes. Apparently, Outpost does not wait for the disconnect ack from the TNC and disconnects, leaving the TNC in a looped "Disconnect" state. This effectively locks the processor in the TNC trying to disconnect.
