INFO is a service of ARRL HQ. To use it, mail messages to:
info@arrl.org
Each line of the message should contain a single command as shown
below. You may place as many commands in a message as you want.
Each file you request will be sent to you in a separate message.
Only ASCII text files are supported at present.
Valid INFO commands:
help Sends this help file
index Sends an index of the files available from INFO
send <FILENAME> Sends "FILENAME" example: send PROSPECT
quit Terminates the transaction (use this if you have
a signature or other text at the end of the message.)
reply <address> Sends the response to the specified address. Put this
at the BEGINNING of your message if your From: address
is not a valid Internet address.
Note: your message will *not* be read by a human! Do not include any
requests or questions except by way of the above commands. Retrieve
the "ARRL-EMAIL-ADR" file for a list of addresses of ARRL HQ people.
Also, note that this message is from "info-serv@arrl.org." DO *NOT* USE
YOUR MAILER'S "REPLY" FUNCTION TO SEND YOUR NEXT REQUEST! Generate a new
message addressed to "info@arrl.org" instead. We set it up this way to
prevent failed mail from looping endlessly, annoying system
administrators. Mail sent back to info-serv@arrl.org ends up in the
bit bucket.
Your From: field or Reply-to: field in your header should contain a valid
Internet address, including full domain name. If your From: field
does not contain a valid Internet address, the answer will not
reach you. However, we have recently added a reply function as a server
command. If needed, the REPLY command should be the first command in
your message.
syntax:
reply mailaddr
Where "mailaddr" is a valid Internet mail address (either user@domain
or bang address accepted.) An invalid address generates an error. A
wrong address results in non-delivery of your response.
The address given in the reply command is the address to which all
subsequent requests in the message will be sent.
If an error message is generated, it will be sent to the last reply
address given.
If anyone needs some help with the server, or has ascii information files
that they would like to archive on our server, additional information or
updates for any of our files, or suggestions for improvements, please
contact me here at ARRL Headquarters via email or telephone (203) 666-1541.
