WE INTERRUPT THIS ARTICLE FOR AN IMPORTANT REMINDER! * * USENET is NOT uucp! You can not send ->MAIL<- to a "USENET * address." *No* individuals have addresses on USENET. * Individuals have addresses on the International uucp network, * the Internet, HEPNET/SPAN, BITNET, etc. You cannot send mail * from Compuserve--or anywhere else--to USENET. USENET is a * logical network that makes use of a variety of transport * mechanisms to propagate news. It is not a part of uucp, it * does not require uucp, and uucp does not require it. Nor is * it a part of UNIX, although some vendors distribute netnews as * contributed software, and there are non-UNIX implementations as * well. * A major reason why usenet works as well as it does is that * major flow paths use NNTP and *not* uucp. You should not (and * often can not) use Path: lines to route mail replies. News and * mail should be considered entirely separate animals, with * different goals and considerations. well!microx, do you copy? * WE NOW RETURN YOU TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED NEWS ARTICLE, ALREADY IN PROGRESS.
