About

General ham radio reference platform for Winlink and packet radio email gateways. This pulls information from online sources to provide to operators who are without Internet access. Very much a concept at this time.

Requirements

Remote operator emails the application's address with a command, application, and values in the subject; body is not required and encouraged to be left blank or as small as possible
Applicaiton will poll for new email w/ SMTP every X minutes
For each new email run the appropriate function to respond to the command contained within the subject, and mark the email read or delete it (probably cleanest to delete them upon use)
If an application command's value isn't entered and there is no default, an error response should be provided, and the email marked for deletion
Applications will be individual modules
- facilitates reuse across pollers
- each module will contain variables to populate the help {command} requests and Catalog list
For each, log the time, sender, subject, and body of request to /var/log/radiomailinfo.log (this can be accomplished at cron.d by funneling stdout to /var/log/radiomail.log)
Stretch: APRS gateway / APRS-IS API interface
Stretch: A telnet, AXIP, or API interface for packet radio
