does anyone happen to have the address of the postmaster at western michigan? (wmich.edu) I keep trying 'postmaster@wmich.edu' and everytime I get some message saying no such address. Also does any one have a list of the networks and address that are reach- able through csnet and internet? Thank for all.

Alternative addreses that you can try are system@host and sometimes variants like postmast@host or postie@host. Makes one wish that everyone could agree on these things, doesn't it? Please note that Postmasters are under no obligation to hunt down addresses for people. The response that you get from most is usually friendly and helpful, but not everyone is uniformly cheerful, unfortunately 8-)! -- Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson GenBank Manager kristoff@genbank.bio.net
