Welcome To SunFlash
-------------------

SunFlash is a moderated e-mail based news service from Sun Microsystem's
Ft. Lauderdale Office. This service was created for South Florida Sun
Users and Customers. Since then we have extended the service through
other Sun Sales offices.

The types of messages that are posted to SunFlash include :-

	o Sun Press Releases
	o Sun Product announcements
	o Sun Promotions
	o Sun Education Promotions
	o Sun Federal Promotions
	o Sun User Groups announcements
	o Monthly Software Technical Bulletin table of contents
	o Sun Consulting Specials
	o USENET articles of interest
	o Trade strories of interest
	o 3rd Party Product announcements

When other Sun offices found out about SunFlash they asked that we add
them and their customers to the SunFlash list. To keep the overhead of
managing this list low, we have arranged SunFlash as a hierarchy of
email aliases. Each office has a list of customers that they forward
SunFlash to. Each customer creates an alias on their own machine.

Customer Admin
	- creates sunflash alias for their own users
	  (adds, deletes, modifies users as necessary)

Sun Office Admin
	- creates sunflash alias for this offices's customers.
	  (adds, deletes, modifies customers as necessary

Sun Ft. Lauderdale Sunflash editor
	- adds, deletes, modifies Sun Offices and Sun customers that
	  are on the internet
