The sections of this article are: SunFlash Aliases - how mail aliases are used to distribute SunFlash. Local exploder aliases Information About SunFlash - how to use the automatic email alias to obtain a long description about SunFlash SunFlash Archive Sites and Locations - locations of a number of ftp sites that store the month-by-month SunFlash archives Obtaining Back Issues By Email - how to get back issues by sending volume and part number to and email address May's Articles - 1 line Summary - for those who don't want to read the longer summary May's Articles - 2 to 5 line Summary - abstract of each article This "Table Of Contents" article and the new article by article abstracts are designed to help you quickly scan the large amount of information that I post to SunFlash. Please send email to flash@sun.com and tell me what you think of these changes. Your comments (good and bad) will be appreciated! John J. McLaughlin SunFlash Editor Ft. Lauderdale, FL June 1th, 1993 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SunFlash Aliases ---------------- To distribute the administration of the mailing list and to keep network traffic as low as possible, I encourage each site to create it's own sunflash aliases (also know as exploder aliases). The standard names for the alias that I normally ask people to create are: sunflash: owner-sunflash: If you are forwarding SunFlash to multiple people at another site, please encourage them to create the above aliases. At the start of each SunFlash message you should find a couple of lines that show the name of the alias that I am actually posting to and the email address of the administrator who can make changes to that alias. (Note: some mail-relaying and mail-to-newsgroup programs remove these lines.) sunflash-Distributed to mailing list ALIAS_NAME sunflash-Send requests and problem reports to ALIAS_ADMIN_NAME Please direct requests to be deleted, changed etc. to the address listed after the "sunflash-Send" header line in your mail. DO not send mail to the whole mailing list as listed in the sunflash-Distributed line. You could be sending your message to many thousands of people, dozens of whom will send you email saying "Don't send messages like that to the whole mailing list"! Information About SunFlash -------------------------- An automatic email reply that describes SunFlash in great detail can be obtained by sending mail to sunflash-info@sun.com (or info-sunflash@sun.com). Included in this reply will be: o An article that describes SunFlash o A list of SunFlash distributors by Geography o A recent SunFlash table of contents article (such as this one) o One line titles for some of the most recent articles Requests to be added should be directed to your local Sun office or sunflash-request@sun.com. Please feel free to pass this information on to other Sun users. SunFlash Archives ----------------- I archive SunFlash onto a number of ftp servers. Each volume (or month) is stored as a compressed tar file. When uncompress and un-tar-ed, a directory of the form xx.mmm (e.g. 49.jan) is created with files, one per article (e.g. 49.01.ppp). For each month, I produce a "table of contents" article, such as this one. It is called xx.00.toc. To help you decide which volumes you might be interested in, I have placed a copy of the xx.00.toc files with the xx.tar.Z files for each volume xx.
