6.1 RFC Headers in FTN Messages

FIDOGATE's ftn2rfc supports the following RFC headers at the start of an FTN message. RFC headers must be the first text lines, max. 3 empty lines before the RFC headers are allowed. Only one header line of each type is allowed.

From: address
Sets From header line. If set and the areas flag -g is on, messages will not be gated, because they are considered comming from another FTN-RFC gateway.

Reply-To: address
Sets Reply-To header line.

To: address
Sets To header line.

Cc: address
Sets Cc header line.

Bcc: address
Sets Bcc header line.

Newsgroups: groups
Sets Newsgroups header line. NOT YET IMPLEMENTED.

Sender: address
Sets Sender header line. NOT YET IMPLEMENTED.

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit | 8bit | quoted-printable
Sets content encoding type, overriding the default configured in fidogate.conf (NetMail8bit, NetMailQuotedPrintable) or areas (-8, -Q).

ftn2rfc sends mail to all addresses listed in To, Cc, and Bcc. It support the RFC1036 standard address formats:

 
user@do.main
user@do.main (Real Name)
Real Name <user@do.main>

Multiple addresses can be separated by a ,.
