WL2K Messages Sent But Never Received


Carl Keller
 

Hi All!

D-Rats newbie here. I have managed to get D-Rats to send messages to my Winlink Express email address. The Debug Log and the Event Log both show that it is successfully sent, but I never receive them via a Telnet connection in Winlink. Internet email to my Gmail address works fine. Is there something I need to whitelist in Winlink? I do have the Gmail address I use with D-Rats whitelisted in Winlink.

When sending WL2K mail from D-Rats...

  • WL2K Network Server = server.winlink.org
  • Port = 8772
  • Password = my Winlink account password
  • My Winlink SSID = have tried various
  • In Email, Source Call Sign = my Call Sign
  • Destination Call Sign = WL2K:KC3KFW@...
  • Subject = //WL2k Test
  • Body = D-Rats Test
Thanks in advance!

It is possible that Winlink decided it was a waste of its time to send a message right back to the station that initiated the message in the first place.? You might try sending it to one of your regular email accounts.? You must realize that sending a message to your call sign, or your callsign@... is the same thing.

?

If you were sending to another station, all you need to put is just the callsign with //WL2K at the beginning of the subject line.??

Thanks. I have already tried sending to regular email. That works, but Winlink does not. I'll try sending to a different Winlink account,??and I'll try your suggested changes.

Hi Glen!

I seem to have it working...

  • First, an SMTP server must be configured in Preferences/Outgoing mail, a a POP mail address must be configured and enabled using SSL in Preferences/Email Accounts, The POP address must be given access to BOTH under Email Access, and POP3 and SMTP servers must be configured under Preferences/Messages. POP email has to be working.
  • The POP email address you are using must be Whitelisted in your Winlink.org account.
  • Source Callsign is my callsign only, but my callsign is automatically routed through my POP email address to Winlink.org.
  • Destination Callsign only worked when "@winlink.org was added to the callsign. It would not work without the full destination information.
  • Using these settings, it did work to send an email to myself from myself after adding "@winlink.org".
  • Subject Line prefix had to be "//WL2K" in order for it to work.

At least I got an email to go through to Winlink using these settings!

Thanks for your input!
