jsq@ut-sally.UUCP (John Quarterman) (07/08/85)
From: John Quarterman (moderator) <ut-sally!std-unix>
Several people have expressed interest in getting mod.std.unix by mail
over the ARPA Internet. I've set up automatic forwarding of postings
to the newsgroup to a list of Internet addresses from ut-sally. As long
as the size of the list remains small, I will keep the list on sally.
If it gets large, I will try to find some host better set up for such
forwarding to take it over.
There was a suggestion to funnel mod.std.unix into UNIX-WIZARDS, as
mod.std.c is funnelled into INFO-C. I think this would be a bad idea,
considering the amount of junk in UNIX-WIZARDS. Same for INFO-UNIX.
Eventually, I will put a listing in [SRI-NIC]<NETINFO>INTEREST-GROUPS.TXT,
which is the registry for Internet mailing lists. For the moment, the
appropriate information is as follows:
The moderated newsgroup mod.std.unix is for discussions of UNIX standards,
in particular of the draft standard in progress by the IEEE P1003
"UNIX Standards" Committee. It is gatewayed to a mailing list on
the ARPA Internet.
Submissions to the newsgroup (permission to post assumed) to:
UUCP: ut-sally!std-unix
ARPA Internet and CSNET: std-unix@ut-sally.ARPA
Comments about the newsgroup (permission to post not assumed) to:
UUCP: ut-sally!std-unix-request
ARPA Internet and CSNET: std-unix-request@ut-sally.ARPA
Mail to my personal addresses about the newsgroup will be treated
like mail to std-unix-request.
Note that ut-sally.ARPA will soon become SALLY.UTEXAS.EDU.
