Question 1: I would like to get some information about using notes to receive arpanet maillists. We are running BSD 4.2 (using sendmail) on a VAX 780. Right now, the way people get access to network mail- lists is to have an entry in /usr/lib/aliases for each different list. Each entry is aliased to redistribute the maillist to several people. This is not as good as notes which only saves one copy for any number of people to read and also allows a user to control what they receive themselves. The "Notesfile Reference Manual" shows an example alias to place mail addressed to "somenotes" in the notesfile "somenotes": somenotes: "|/usr/spool/notes/.utilites/nfmail somenotes" Is this a good way to go? There is a possiblity that we may become a UseNet site, but not in the near future. If nfmail will work, where can I get the source? We have the rest of notes, but not nfmail. Question 2: Does anyone have a linprinter filter that will do accounting for a Symbolics LGP-1 Laser Graphics Printer? The standard filter /usr/lib/lpf does fine for regular printing, but prints nothing for any kind of graphics. Thanks in advance, Tom Proett Ames Research Center Mountain View, CA
