1. keep the database of addresses to which the list is forwarded UP TO
DATE (this is the most important function).
2. provide some way for all addresses listed in the database to receive
each posted message individually, but NOT get bounced mail. (Suggestions for
doing this were posted to the list about a month ago; they are in the
archives.) (this is the second most important function).
3. have a lot of disk space to hold the archives, which includes every
message posted, and a moderate amount of software donated to the list.
4. have the archives in a location where EVERYONE on the Arpanet, and
possibly everyone on the usenet, can list the directories and ftp the
files.
5. respond to requests for archive files to be mailed to users without
ftp access.
6. take submissions from users and put them in the archives, provided
they are offered WITH NO STRINGS ATTACHED (i.e. they must be in the
public domain).
7.
(note:the archives are now located on su-score.arpa in directory
ps:<mrc.atari>*.* . The database is on su-score.arpa in file
ps:<g.tang>atari.dis . New moderators will also want to see the
atari-related lines in <mail>mailing-lists.txt on score.)
