(personal email accounts removed to protect from the scum spammers...)

I've been experimenting with this functionality on JNOS using GMAil.
There's a magic "+" trick in an gmail TO address where everything
after the + is ignored. Thus it should be possible to send Email to
BBS users with something like: REDBBS+n9pmo@gmail.com. My JNOS
box would POP the REDBBS messages and be smart enough to direct the
"REDBBS+n9pmo" message straight to the "n9pmo" user.

Something like that make work here for the new BPQ BBS. The GMAIL
accounts are certainly readily available, use standard Internet Email
technologies and have good spam filtering.

FYI - BPQ BBS

Finally - some modern software... Even I'm finding it harder to stretch the usefulness of JNOS due to some rough edges..

The BPQ-BBS is A 3 part program, The BBS forwarding setup is
similar to Winpack as far as the Forwarding is setup,
BBS (USERS) TO Calls: AT Calls: Connect Script is
Capable of Multi Connections for multiple node Connections,
H-Route, Max Size to send Max Size to Receive and
FBB Max Block, all editing is done in program it self
No files to edit like FBB, Forwarding Protocol
is Plain ASCII, FBB Compressed And B2 for the use of
WL2K Programs like RMS.

For RF and AXIP BPQ32 Must be used, BPQ Telnet Server will work as before, forwarding
Has two options, 1 will Auto forward when message is to be delivered, A second option Same as FBB (R) Command will Poll the Partner Station per User.

The second part of the BPQ-BBS is the ISP function allowing
E-Mail to be sent to and From the BBS, an E-Mail host will
be needed to keep the BBS Call sign correct.

There is also an option for the BBS to connect to outlook express for SMTP/POP again can be sent to/from the BBS.

The third part is the BPQ-CHAT Server, this is a Multi connect
Multi user server, you Can have a large Chat Room if you would like,
or one can create a Chat Topic for Independent Chats.
