SunFLASH Vol 12 #27					 December 1989 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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. It is now being distruted to other Sun Offices so
that they can further distribute SunFlash to their Users and
Customers.

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
	o SunTechnology Table Of Contents

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 so
that they can be responsible for managing their own users.

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

As Sun Ft. Lauderdale is part of Sun's Wide Area Network (SWAN), we
are happy to forward SunFlash directly to Sun offices that are also
on SWAN. 

If you have a problem with SunFlash and want to add, delete or modify
names in the mailing list, please examine your mail headers to see how
the messages get to you. The approprate person to change the mailing
list may be the administrator of the office that forwards the mail to
you and not me, the originator of the message. (Try postmaster and root
at the upstream machines if you don't know the admin.)


Please send comments, suggestions, material for inclusion etc to me.
Thanks.
