Turn Off Transmit Message on Radio
On the File " Using_D-RATS_with_your_D-STAR_radio.pdf ", what is meant by the "Turn off the TX message on your DSTAR radio as it uses bandwidth that could be used to transmit DRATS
data."
Do I select a line with nothing in it, or is there an on/off switch somewhere in the IC-2820's Menu? I am trying to send email via the radio RF.

D-Rats Winlink Email 64-Bit Problem
Replacing the 32-bit file with the 64-bit file does indeed work for the Winlink email problem. Once I made the replacement, I heard the email sound and an email I had sitting in the outbox was no longer there but in the Sent Box.
Now if we can just figure out the RF side.

Re: Email Outgoing to server.winlink.org
I found the file on the Dan Planet site through a web site address
someone else provided. It worked!
Now I am wondering if my problems getting email through the IC-2820
RF might be related to the 64-bit problem. I have everything else
working by Telnet.
Thank you for the help. D-Rats is an easy program to operate, but
boy the set up and configuration!

Re: Email Outgoing to server.winlink.org
No, You have to do the "fix"...
Information Bulletin - Fixing the Windows 7 D-RATS 0.3.3b6 64-bit WL2K Error.
On 64-bit Windows 7 computers D-RATS 0.3.3b6 encounters an error
when sending E-mail addressed to WL2K. The error involves
the D-RATS lzhuf_1.exe file located in the D-RATS\libexec folder.
There is a fix.
Shut down D-RATS.
Download this file:
You will be given the option to RUN or SAVE the file. Click on SAVE.
Remember where you saved it to. On WIndows 7 machines it will be
saved to the DOWNLOADS folder.
Replace the file lzhuf_1.exe in the D-RATS\libexec folder with
the new file you just downloaded.
Done.
The fix procedure has been tested on a Windows 7
64-bit operating system running D-RATS 0.3.3b6
and does fix the problem. This fix procedure has
NOT BEEN TESTED by me on any other operating
systems or versions of D-RATS. Using this
procedure on other operating systems and versions
of D-RATS MAY BE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I posted this originally on the D-STAR group, and I'm moving it here to what seems like a more appropriate place. Sorry for the cross post.
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 #1 runs D-RATS with either an RF connection to the ratflector over my 92AD or a network connection. PC#2 is running the D-RATS repeater app and D-RATS. It is connected via RF and/or network. 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?

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
Just a follow up. I email working in both directions now. I created two Email Access rules on PC #2 (the one that runs the ratflector:
Rule #1:
Callsign = {my callsign}
Access = Both
Email Filter = {blank}
Rule #2
Callsign = {my callsign}
Access = Incoming
Email Filter = {the email address that I have set up in D-RATS on PC #1]
When I added rule #1 I was able to send messages out, but not back in. Rule #2 causes messages that come in to the email address that I specify in the rule to be forwarded to the call sign in rule 2.
I have been sending test messages out all afternoon, and it seems to work without a problem.

Re: D-RATS Outbound via SMTP
I saw * in the docs.?? Will try that.?? It's sending outbound without a problem at this point.? What I'm looking for now is the rule that says, "if an email comes inbound from the internet and it is addressed to xxx@... send it to callsign xyz."??? The wildcard rule seems to be breaking that right now.? But, I've made good progress thanks to the replies on this thread! ? Thanks! Dan ?
