Our D-Rats weekly training group tried D-Rats relay internet email with reply.?
Here's what happened:
?One station unchecked "connected to internet", sent email to an internet address VIA another station who had internet email forwarding setup in D-Rats.?
The message went out via RF to the relay station, the relay station forwarded to internet via POP mail account. All this is expected.
The internet receiving station received a message with my call sign as "From" appended with the internet account of the relay station.?
He replied to the email with his normal email client via internet.?
It went back to the relay station into his D-Rats inbox.
D-Rats saw the addresse was my call sign. D-Rats saw I was online. D-Rats forwarded me the reply via RF.
This is how I remember it working and how it still works. Zero manual intervention required. If D-Rats sees traffic for you and you are online (and the data channel is clear) it sends it.?
Better than WinLink....unattended operation possible.?
