I seem to have lost contact with archive-server@panarthea.ebay.sun.com. Is there another address for this, or does it have an FTP site?

I noticed that the address has changed to archive-server@panarthea.sun.com (no more .ebay.), although I haven't seen a posting to that effect. I have a baffling problem with it -- I can get it to send help and indices, but it never sends the binaries I request. I've tried to keep the size of the requests small.

Are you sure? I just tried sending test messages from two different sites, and panarthea.ebay.sun.com worked in both instances. An alternate address for the server is archive_serv1@ebay.sun.com (I didn't set that up -- the local mail people just want to have addresses for everything on the mail gateway machine.) >I have a baffling problem with it -- I can get it to send help and >indices, but it never sends the binaries I request. I've tried to keep >the size of the requests small. Any ideas? Are you sure your requests are in the proper form? A very common mistake is to say send binaries/volume1/foobar instead of send binaries/volume1 foobar The archive server chokes on the first form. The form of requests is "send directoryname file [file file file ...]." --- " !" - Marcel Marceau Steven Grimm Moderator, comp.{sources,binaries}.atari.st koreth@ebay.sun.com ...!sun!ebay!koreth

I asked the manager about it, and they seemed to think that I had a wrong address, but help and indices worked. I never got bounced mail, but I never got my binaries, either. I also kept the size of requests small... Anybody knows "the trick", I would be grateful to hear about it...
