Announcing MRCserv, a mailserver based at Mount Royal College.
MRCserv is a MAIL ONLY based server. Mount Royal is not on
the Internet so FTP access is not supported. Anonymous UUCP
is also not supported.
All commands to the server must be in the BODY of the message.
The subject line is ignored.
The address of the server is MRCserv@Janus.MtRoyal.AB.CA
Mount Royal College is in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Our time
zone is MST. Please try and restrict your archive access to
non-prime hours (primetime is 07:00 - 17:00).
MRCserv is currenly in BETA test. If you experence any problems
please send e-mail to RMF@Janus.MtRoyal.AB.CA
| There had been a fatel bug in the server in that it would inform
| you of files being sent, but they never were (BETA 0.48)
| A PATH command had been added. It appears that the server had some
! trouble with "!" addresses, so a path command became necessary. The
| server is pretty good usally in figuring out return-paths, hoever if
| you don't receive a response from the server try again with a PATH
| command. Remember the PATH is from the SERVER to you. If you are
| using "!" paths please add the .UUCP domain name, ie. a!b!c!d!user.uucp
Enjoy!
