How Do I send email and winlink messages?

 

Hello! New to group.? I just installed direwolf and yaac (latest version).? I wish to try sending an email and a winlink message.? I installed the plugin for email.? I send a test message and get yaac msg that it has been sent, but no email arrives.? I am doing this over an aprs port since I am out of range for RF.? It should still work, shouldn't it?

Concerning winlink, at the bottom of the yaac screen there are three fields: "to" to select the medium (email, winlink etc) "via" and a blank field, I assume for the message.? I chose "winlink" but I don't know what to choose for the "via" field.? And of course I don't know how to address the email.

I hope someone will be able to explain this to me and perhaps give me some concrete examples.

Thx!

Here's a video I did for Winlink over APRS. I'm using a radio in the video but the concept is the same for YAAC.

The concept may be the same, but I have never been able to get this to work from YAAC.
I have regularly used pat for winlink, but cannot get YAAC to work.
Pls let us know if you get this to work!?

Think I see the problem. In the drop down menu, "WLINK" is prefilled as the recipient. Instead of using the drop down option, manually type "WLNK-1" in the to field. Then type anything in the message field and send the message. The Winlink system should respond with something like "Login [176:]" which starts the connection. Details on logging in and reading messages in the video link above.

Jason and others,
even with WLINK-1 selected as the destination in the message bar at the bottom of the YAAC window,? a 6 character text message elicits no response from the aprslink server.
If I select the "send email" option from the message tab at the top, then there is a response from the aprslink server as you describe; there
is a login authentication request consisting of a 3 numerical? character code. Entering a 6 character correctly choosing the appropriate characters
from my Winlink password still fails as the aprslink server responds with "invalid login challenge response".

Double check your spelling. There isn't an "i" in WLNK-1. Not sure about your password not working though. It works for mine using WLNK-1. It's case sensitive.

I just got it to work (with the correct spelling). Noticed that the YAAC drop-down defaults to the incorrect spelling.
Repeated tests fail however. Is there a limit on traffic through aprslink?

Thank you for that note about the incorrect spelling for WLNK-1. I will fix it in the next build of YAAC.
