For the past few months I have been posting biweekly "checkgroups" messages to the "na" distribution. The header of the control message specifically says to respond to "nobody". Thus, I should never get any automatic complains from news software complaining about "unknown control message" as would be the case for sites running ancient news. Unfortunately, the following sites are not only running software old enough to not understand "checkgroups", but they ignore the "Reply-to" header, thus violating the Usenet article interchange standard (and helping to flood my mailbox). If you are at one of these sites or know someone at one of these sites, please ask the system admin to install 2.11 news and rejoin the mainstream of the net. At least one of these sites is running 2.9 news, and over half are running news versions released over 3 1/2 years ago! akgub.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. akguc.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. akgud.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. akguf.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. allegra.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. arrow.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 ggr 10/10/85. auvax.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. bearcat.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 ggr 10/10/85. bentley.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 ggr 10/10/85. bocar.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 ggr 10/10/85. calay.uucp running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83 SMI. cepu.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. cord.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 ggr 10/10/85. cubsvax.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. cvbnet.uucp running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83 SMI. daimler.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 ggr 10/10/85. desoto.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 ggr 10/10/85. drutx.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 (Denver Mods 7/26/84) 6/24/83. dscatl.UUCP running news version B 2.11 beta 9/22/86. edsel.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 ggr 10/10/85. endot.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. gangue.uucp running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83 SMI. granjon.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 ggr 10/10/85. gsg.UUCP running news B version B 2.10 5/3/83. hcr.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. hcrvax.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. hcrvx1.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. hcrvx2.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. ihopb.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 exptools 1/6/84. kaiser.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 ggr 10/10/85. nrcaer.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. oscvax.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. packard.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 ggr 10/10/85. petsd.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. phs.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. phuxa.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. phuxc.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. pierce.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 ggr 10/10/85. pwa-b.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. sb6.UUCP running news B version @(#) defs.h 2.9 6/26/82. scherzo.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. stsci.uucp running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83 SMI. swen01.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. ttrdc.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. unicads.uucp running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83 SMI. utzoo.UUCP running news B version B 2.10 5/3/83. vax135.UUCP running news B version B 2.10.1 6/24/83. xios.UUCP running news B version B 2.10 beta 3/9/83. -- Gene Spafford Software Engineering Research Center (SERC), Georgia Tech, Atlanta GA 30332 CSNet: Spaf @ GATech ARPA: Spaf@gatech.EDU uucp: ...!{akgua,decvax,hplabs,ihnp4,linus,seismo,ulysses}!gatech!spaf
