The Santa Cruz Operation mailing list
Charter: For exchange of information and discussions regarding
all products from Santa Cruz operations.
This group will be beneficial to any one interested or currently using
SCO products. This mailing list is a single area that discussions and
information can be exchanged regarding ALL SCO products. This mailing
is independent of any existing news groups.
If you are currently using SCO products, interested in products from SCO
or work for Santa Cruz Operations I encourage you to join the SCO mailing
list. Currently there are 350 sites that subscribe to the list.
The SCO mailing list is located on the uunet host. (Thanks uunet)
Send all articles or discussions to the address: uunet!sco-list or
sco-list@uunet.uu.net
Please send change requests to uunet!sco-list-request or
sco-list-request@uunet.uu.net.
If you wish to be added to this list please follow these instructions.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOLLOWED AS THE PROCESS IS
AUTOMATED.
1) Mail your add request to sco-list-request@uunet. Do not send
your request to uunet!sco-list as this is the address to post all
articles to.
2) Include the address you wish to received the mailing at in the body
of the mail message. Example to add the address dma@pcssc.com include
in the body of the message the following:
Add: dma@pcssc.com
Note the word add starts with a capital `A` and is the first word on the
line. It is also followed by a colon ':', a single blank space, an address
and then a new line. Be sure to include the `:` and the blank. Do not
follow the address with any comments.
Bang paths are also accepted, but needs to be the the path from uunet.
(i.e. pcssc!dma instead of uunet!pcssc!dma) Example:
Add: pcssc!dma
Do not include both forms of address as you will then get two copies of
every mailing. Just do one or the other (i.e. dma@pcssc.com or pcssc!dma)
Do not put the add request in the subject line as this will be ignored.
3) Once our system receives your request you will receive an acknowledgment.
You will then start to get all articles posted to uunet!sco-list.
4) If you do not receive the acknowledgment and postings right away do not
send a alternate address path. You may end up getting two copies of all
posting using both paths. Instead mail myself at dma@pcssc.com and ask if I
got the original request.

Uunet concedes the problem > is theirs but doesn't have the resources to fix it. The last pile of dups was caused (as best we can figure) by someone delibertly introducing a loop in the mailing list. Each message was sent out some 200+ times. The moderator of the list ended up getting 25+ Meg of mail in his uucp queue (most of which we were able to clean out). For more details, contact the moderator of the list - dma@pcssc.com. As far as we can figure out, all of the prior dups were caused by a bug burried someplace deep in sendmail that can cause dups while processing long lists. We basically want to scrap sendmail & start over with something else, but we don't have the resources at time time to do so. --asp@uunet.uu.net (Andrew Partan)

As I understand it someone PURPOSELY was feeding articles back into uunet!sco-list at least a hundred times each. I think they should be allowed to share a room with Mr. Morris for a few years. The list is back up and running now and I haven't seen any duplicates since it came back on-line. I posted a short program to check for duplicate message id's and reject them before we explode the list into the Puget Sound area. I will be glad to send it to anyone interested. It consists of a dbm database maintained by a perl program which is called by deliver before sending the article on or dropping it.
