+There is a bulletin group called ALL@SCOT. Using it it very straight forward: Send a bulletin to all@scot and network magic will make the flood through the Scotland area network.
+Setting up your own BBS to suit is simply a case for forwarding @SCOT messages to any neighbour nodes in Scotland you have. This @ based forwarding is separate from the normal hierarchical addressing most personal messages or bulletins use.
+The expectation is that messages to this address will stay geographically within Scotland. Messages addressed to the group from outside Scotland are unlikely to get here.
+In practice since anything @scot will forward in the same way, while all@scot is intended to be the primary group, anything before the @ sign will be accepted and routed throughout Scotland.
