How to look up an address?
Scenario I have an incoming mail addressed as follows: To:Auditor auditor@bath=wells.org.uk and I need to send this out to the Auditor's address, in tact and I think I can do it like this: %TEXT %To= %From= %To= %From=%OFROMNAME %OFROMADDR %Subject=%OSUBJ %REPLYTO=%OFROMNAME %OFROMADDR What do I put after %To= where I need Bat to look up auditor in a specified address book (Bath-Wells-contacts) where auditor is the handle and the resulting address is David Floyd[EMAIL PROTECTED] Can any-one help with this please. This is just an examples, there would be many different addresses in use.

Re: My comments about The Bat! a question
How does a novice learn to write such templates as was posted here,
please. Can some-one point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Query re use of generic email addresses
I hope some-one can tell me if this is possible. I have now been searching for a couple of weeks for an answer with no luck. Also I find understanding Macros rather difficult. I run a mailing list for a group of about 100 people which I set up about a year ago and mastered this using the examples provided in TheBat! What I would like to do now is to provide generic email addresses to about 400 contacts on a web page. I do not want their own email addresses to show on the web page. What I need is (say) for an email like [EMAIL PROTECTED] where 'thiscontact' could be 1 of about 400 and when the email is received in TB for it to be sent out 'as is' to the real recipient. I can see how to do this one at a time with a filter, but I am wondering if there is a way to avoid having to have 400 filters, so the 'thiscontact' can be looked up in the contacts address book and insert the appropriate recipient's address in the To: Any help (in simple language) would be very much appreciated.

Since I am not quite sure I understood you correctly I can only give a hint that may suit you: Quick Templates used for Mass Mailing (This is a feature available from the Address Book). With MM you can customize your posts to the people on you list such that they get individual messages with only their own address anywhere in it. For an automated process one can surely utilize filters, macros and RegExs. IIRC somewhere in the FAQ is an article by Leif Gregory on how to set up a mailing list with TB. Sorry, no that wasn't what I meant, I already have a mailing list up and running. What I trying to do is redirect a message that comes in to a particular person e.g. a mail comes in addressed to (say) Contact[EMAIL PROTECTED] and TB redirects it to Fred Bloggs[EMAIL PROTECTED] That can be done using filter, but there could be up to 400 different addresses involved and I am wondering if somehow Contact can be looked up in the address book as a nickname and the relevant address then added to the To: in the redirected mail, otherwise it would mean setting up 400 filters (rather cumbersome and I don't know if you could have that number of filters in one mailbox) Thanks, David Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I take it the *@xyz.org.uk address is a catchall address, Yes. It' bath-wells.org.uk which is hosted at uk2.net. I just pick the mail up by POP3 from uk2.net I do have 24 hour connection (ADSL) so members wouldn't suffer a delay. Take a look at www.bath-wells.org.uk then click on one of the Branches (Axbridge, say). Each tower should have a contact, but many people are reluctant to have their email addy published on the web. If I can offer a generic form of address I can control any missuse (as I do with the bell-ringers news/mailing list).

Attachments in mailing lists?
Using BAT v.1.60 on Windows2K Have used The Bat for a mailing list for some time now, but now we require to send attachments to each other via the list. In 'sorting rules' for 'postings' I have 'create a message for the list' ticked and then a template which looks like this (disguised in places): %TEXT -- This message came from %OFROMNAME %OFROMADDR Via the xxx x Members Mailing List %TO= %ReplyTo= %From= %RETURNPATH= %TO= Members [EMAIL PROTECTED] %ReplyTo= Members [EMAIL PROTECTED] %From=%OFROMNAME %OFROMADDR %BCC=xxx Members list %RETURNPATH=[EMAIL PROTECTED] %SUBJECT=[ABC] %OSUBJ This has worked fine for a couple of years but I can't get it to work to included attachments. I have included %ATTACHMENTS on the next line under %TEXT, but the outgoing message just has none after the text. Can any-one help me with what I should do (in simple language please, as I'm not a tech expert) Thanks, David Floyd Current Ver: 1.60i FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
