[comp.mail.misc] HOSTS.TXT from nic.ddn.mil

msir@uhura.cc.rochester.edu (Mark Sirota) (02/14/90)

There's probably a more appropriate place to ask this, but I don't know
where...

I seem to remember from many moons ago that there is some way to collect
hosts.txt from sri-nic.arpa by automagically-returned mail.  That is, you
send mail to some address with some specific subject, and it mails you back
hosts.txt.  Am I right, and if so, how do you do it?

(The driving force behind this is that we're having trouble ftp'ing the
thing because connections aren't reliable...)

Thanks in advance.
