Hello, I tried to send netmail to archive-request with 5 requesting files. last week. After 3 days, I received one of requested files but other didnt arrived and had bounced because WISCVM.WISCV.EDU lost link from SIMTEL20 and farther nodes. I tried send news to Info-CPM and get returned mail and gave me error: Undeliverable to <Info-CPM@AMSAA-SEER>, Unable connect to that over 3 days. I dont believe that! I tried to send via UUCP to simtel20.arpa but I didnt receive any mail in several days. WISCVM cut off servers that cause bounced big files/mails. Please contact to WISCVM.WISC.EDU! Thanx, Tim.

Don't send mail to info-CPM for archives! Send it to: ARCHIVE-REQUEST@SIMTEL20.ARPA I don't think Info CP/M is even related to the archives. ...!nosc!crash!pnet01!msmiley@NOSC

Hello,
I tried send to archive-request via UUCP. Explain: ...!ucbvax!simtel20.arpa!
archive-request. I am waited for files in approx 1 day and get requested files.
I couldn't believe that WISCVM gateways tie network too much. Today, I
received some requested files from archive-request. It took 7 days to
arrive! On friday, it modified to replyable-block. I had send to info-CPM
but it mailed back me. I was surprised that I received from
BITNET%"H462BATMS@GALLUA.BITNET" from arpanet instead EDU%"....@WISCVM.WISC.EDU"
That cause blocked some mail server to reply to bitnet sites. To work, use
UUCP mail until WISCVM has repaired. Sorry for you.
Last weekend, I tried to send netmail to archive-request and I get some
files from archive-request via UUCP. It works fine!
For BITNET users, use SENDGATE to send to archive-request:
simtel20!archive-request@ucbvax.uucp or
simtel20!archive-request@ucbvax.usenet to send request files.
or you can look in your archive blurb about UUCP.
Thanx,
Tim Stark
