To get old postings from sixhub, send mail to archive-server@sixhub.uucp
with a subject which looks like this:
send cbip/FILE to user@node.domain
Example:
send cbip/v06i721 to jowsmith@maggot.unyuug.org
send cbip/v05i404 to root@mysite.uucp
If you are a site appearing in the uucp maps, then site.uucp is valid.
Bang paths are not valid. If you send some address with fancy stuff in
it, colons, percents, or exclamations, the request will go in the "can't
read" file.
The volume and issue number appears on every posting, and in the index
posted every now and again. It will be of the form v##i###, and that's
the filename you request.
Of course you will not be notified if your address is in any other
format... think about it, if I could send a notification I could send
the file you wanted.
For now the files will be in shar format (the archive server uses that
for everything else). As soon as I get time I will teach it to send
those files as is.
