Additional Mailbox Features

Other MFJ-1278B mailbox features are as follows:

Forwarding:

The MFJ-1278B Mailbox now has the ability to Forward mail to most full service and
personal mailboxes. This feature allows you to compose your mail on your TNC, at your
leisure, and then Forward the resulting messages for eventual delivery.

Messages may be forwarded any one of three ways either manually, by command, or by
automatic forward. You can either forward messages hourly, or by your local full-service
mailbox's reverse forward request.

Manual and hourly forwards may proceed through up to eight (8) digipeaters, allowing the
messages to be forwarded through ROSE switches. Also NODE forwarding is can be done
too, thus allowing you to forward mail through NETROM, THENET, and KA-NODE
switches. Please refer to the NODeforw command in this manual.

In order to conserve RAM, space the SYSOP may specify that forwarded messages be killed
upon successful forwarding. However, if conserving RAM is not a concern, then forwarded
messages will be flagged "F". This flag will appear in the message flag block. Messages
with F flags will be saved in the mailbox for the SYSOP's disposition.

All forwarding events are monitored on the screen, in order to inform the SYSOP of the
forwarding progress.

In order for a message to be eligible for the forwarding process two (2) conditions must be
met:

1. Messages must have N flags in the message flag block.

2. All messages must have an @ callsign in the message header.
