- *** CuD #3.06: File 3 of 6: CuD Archive Server ***
- ********************************************************************
-
- Some people seem to be having problems using the email archive server based
- here. Here are some helpful hints:
-
- a) place all commands to the archive server in the BODY of the message. The
- server will ignore commands on the subject line.
-
- b) do not use any slashes ('/') in any command. The server does not know
- how to handle commands with slashes in the command.
-
- c) use the "path" command. Although we do have a fairly smart mailer, it's
- not foolproof. This is especially true for sites that are not directly
- on the Internet. UUCP sites should locate a node on the Internet (like
- uunet) and use it as a base. Bitnet sites should add the suffix .bitnet
- to the end of their hostname. For example:
-
- path uunet.uu.net!nexthost!myhost!me
- path me@bithost.bitnet
-
- This should eliminate problems getting to you.
-
- d) If you're asking for many files, it helps to break up the send command
- into multiple files. This is especially true for large files. For example:
-
- send cud cud1.01
- send cud cud1.02
- send cud cud1.03
- is better than
- send cud cud1.01 cud1.02 cud1.03
-
- e) Some helpful commands that the server knows:
-
- index
- index cud
- send cud cud-arch
- send cud chsun1.email.files
-
- Also, try and keep the files you request per send command to under 45000
- bytes. Anything much larger than that will not be sent. If you want
- very large files, send a special request to
- archive-management@chsun1.uchicago.edu and special arrangements will be
- made.
-
- f) This is not the address for requesting futures issues of CuD to be mailed
- to you. You should send those requests to: TK0JUT2@NIU.bitnet
- and place the address for being placed on the mailing list.
-
- Thanks,
