Indirect Distribution --------------------- o consists of weekly and monthly digests posted to comp.sys.sun.announce and o an email auto responder for requesting the full text of SunFlash articles. o A separate mailing list for the indirect distribution has recently been created. If you see the weekly SunFlash digests in a newsgroup but would rather have them emailed to you, please send email to flash@sun.com and ask to be added to the SunFlash digest list. Direct Distribution ------------------- Direct subscribers receive the full text of the SunFlash articles as they become available. Direct subscribers also receive the monthly digest. Direct subscribers do not receive the weekly digests. If you are a direct subscriber and you would like to be emailed the weekly SunFlash digests, please send email to flash@sun.com and ask to be added to the SunFlash digest list. (Some direct subscribers might like to forward the weekly SunFlash digest to certain colleagues/clients /friends etc) If you wish to receive the direct distribution of SunFlash, please send email to flash@sun.com asking to be added to the direct mailing list. Distribution Aliases -------------------- Many organizations have aliases in place for the direct distribution of sunflash within those organizations. Please check if such an alias already exists at your site before sending a request to flash@sun.com. If your site does not have a sunflash redistribution alias in place and there are several people at your site who would be interested in subscribing to SunFlash, please create your own redistribution alias (sunflash@yoursite.domain) and have that aliases added to the direct list. Add your own email address to your redistribution alias. Local redistribution aliases allow local administrators to add/delete/change their own sunflash subcribers with ease. Please do not add subscribers from other organizations to your local redistribution alias. Ask flash@sun.com to add them instead. (It's a lot harder to track down problems if users from one organizations are 'hidden' in the sunflash alias of another.) Please tell your friends and colleagues (who have an interest in Sun :-) ) about SunFlash. John J.
