Re: D-RATS Outbound via SMTP
(Note to self: When posting to a group and expecting an answer turn off digest mode!)
Thanks for the replies, gentlemen.
John, that is the way I understand it. I believe Ed is on to something here. I changed the rules as (I think) Ed suggested, and I can now send mail outbound! However, inbound is no longer working. Now that I suspect that this is an Email Access rule issue I'm going to play around to see if I can find a combination that works for both inbound and outbound. For now I've got the following on the rats PC
CallSign = W4DTO
Access = Both
Email Filter = {blank}
CallSign = W4DTO-1 (this is the callsign I have on the rats PC)
Access =
Email Filter = {blank}

Re: D-RATS Outbound via SMTP
I'm having the same problem using the D Rats Client. I get some sort of Boolean error in the Debug Log.
My Pop is set up and I receive email from my Google Drats account. I can not send outbound Internet email (smtp) for example va7kmg.drats@...
I still want to get the Wl2k working as well
I know last year I was able to get it to work using the D rats and Gmail PDF file set up

First, how are you addressing the message. If you just put the callsign, D-RATS looks to see if that station is currently online to accept messages. If not, it holds it in the Outbox until it sees the station.
If you are sending to an SMTP address (xxx@...), it looks to see if the originating PC has Internet connectivity on its own. If not it doesn't know how to send the message. If your station does not have Internet connectivity (RF only) and you know another station on D-RATS does, you can use the SEND VIA when sending the message and put the callsign of the connected station.

We are looking at exactly this problem and note the same findings. I believe the software is grabbing the msg and looking for the Station listed as the:"TO" address. The software wants to know if the station you wish to contact is connected to the network. If so it should see the "TO" Station in the right panel. If it does not see your Target Station, the software HOLDS the msg waiting for the Target Call to appear. It will wait very patiently forever to get a chance to send the msg. That is why the msg stays in the Outbox even if you hit SEND. We have had plenty of trouble trying to reach the Target Station and agree with you completely.
Try my suggestion and see what happens. Of Course you must have the ACCESS folder data set to "URCALL, Both,<blank>" I believe that your Target Call must also have an entry in the ACCESS Folder so that you give yourself permission to send and receive msgs with that Call as well. The Messages Folder should have auto send enabled, too. GL, Ed, W5TWR

I've got a ratflector set up on PC on my LAN, and have been playing around trying to learn more about D-RATS. The setup is as follows.

PC#2 has a check by "Connected to Internet".
SMTP turned off on PC#1. SMTP is set up correctly on PC#2 and it is set to forward messages. I am 100% confident that the SMTP server settings are correct, and I can connect to the SMTP server from this PC. I've confirmed that. I have an Email Access rule in place for my email and call sign.
I can connect from PC#1 to PC#2 over the local network, and I can chat and send files. I have I can send an email from PC#1, telling it to Send Via PC#2. The message shows up in the D-RATS inbox on PC#2, and the message at the bottom of the screen says it is forwarding it. However, it never hits the internet, and it never clears from the outbox on PC#2.
I also tried creating and sending an outbound email from PC#2. It is never delivered and sits in the outbox until I delete it.
I ran Wireshark on PC#2 watching for packets going to my mail server, and I never see anything attempt to connect to that IP or port.
Strange thing is I had this working a couple of days ago. I know I did something to break it, but can't "un-break" it.
Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this further? What causes D-RATS to attempt a connection to a SMTP server via the internet instead of trying to pass mail through the radio links?

Re: D-RATS Outbound via SMTP
I’ll provide my understanding of D-RATS messaging (hopefully it is correct).
?
First, how are you addressing the message.? If you just put the callsign, D-RATS looks to see if that station is currently online to accept messages.? If not,
it holds it in the Outbox until it sees the station.
?
If you are sending to an SMTP address (xxx@...), it looks to see if the originating PC has Internet connectivity on its own.? If not it doesn’t know how
to send the message.? If your station does not have Internet connectivity (RF only) and you know another station on D-RATS does, you can use the SEND VIA when sending the message and put the callsign of the connected station.

Re: D-RATS Outbound via SMTP
If you are using winlink email, remember that you have to put "WL2K:callsign" on the To: line, and "WL2K//" and the subject, on the subject line.

Re: Configuring d-Rats for a Reflector?
Thanks John. I think it's as I suspected. I need to get there through RF. d-Rats on a PC through the ratflector by itself won't get to the reflectors. No problem (assuming I can get to DOC, BTI, or SBA from Waleska). 880H will be here tomorrow or Thursday. Tom KG4VUB sent me a sample icf file and I'll also download one of the "Localized Memory downloads" from dstarinfo.com to get set up.
Thanks for the help!

Occasionally I see someone in the Chat tab say "XYZ Net on REF30C" or "AB1ABC is explaining the meaning of life on REF004C". So how to I get to REF30C or REF004C (which I assume are "reflectors") in D-Rats? Or can I? I've checked the on-line documentation but don't see it. I've looked on the DSTAR pages and don't see anything jump out about how to navigate to a specific reflector within d-Rats (which suggests to it's not possible - but I don't want to miss something). Any suggestions or a URL to the documentation?
Thanks!

Re: Configuring d-Rats for a Reflector?
If you are using a radio or Dongle, you need to configure a radio in the Preferences.? You can connect a Dongle directly to a Reflector.? Using a radio, you
will need to link the repeater to that reflector module.

Subject: [d-rats_group] Configuring d-Rats for a Reflector?

Occasionally I see someone in the Chat tab say "XYZ Net on REF30C" or "AB1ABC is explaining the meaning of life on REF004C". So how to I get to REF30C or REF004C (which I assume are "reflectors") in D-Rats? Or can I? I've checked
the on-line documentation but don't see it. I've looked on the DSTAR pages and don't see anything jump out about how to navigate to a specific reflector within d-Rats (which suggests to it's not possible - but I don't want to miss something). Any suggestions
or a URL to the documentation?
Thanks!

Re: Configuring d-Rats for a Reflector?
Dear Bob, ? One way would be to use the low speed data capability on D-Star radios and to use the RF segment capability in D-RATS.? If you have a D-Star radio with a cable connected to your PC with D-RATS running, you can enable in your Preferences a connection to your D-Star radio (and other radios also).? Once enabled. your chat (where you must select your D-Star radio as outgoing in the lower left), messaging and file transfer are all done over the D-Star radio.? And if you have connected your D-Star radio to another D-Star Repeater or a Reflector, voila.? It works at 1200 bps.
