I've got an archive server running on my machine, and you can use it to
get back postings from the traveller mailing list. I've got most of the
postings since 426. (About 5% of the postings never get to me, so I do
not have those.) In general, a posting will put in the archive within
three working days of arrival here. An archive server is a mail command
program. You send it an email request, and it sends you email back with
your answer.
The archive server can be reached by sending email to
[email removed]. The human manager of the archive can
be reached at [email removed], or [email removed] in an
emergency. The body of the email message can contain one or more commands:
The server has four commands:
help Send a general help message.
index [<category>] Send an index for the category.
send <category> <file(s)> Send one or more files from the category.
path <return-path> Route reply to this address.
Currently, there are five categories of files:
traveller Back articles from the traveller mailing list, starting at 426.
cyberrpg Back articles from the CyberRPG mailing list.
design Back articles from the Game Designer's mailing list. (dead?)
programs Programs for role playing games.
background Useful background information for SFRPGs.
other Other interesting files.
Sample command lines to send:
index traveller Sends an index of traveller articles.
path [email removed] Server will reply to this address.
send programs rnd-names Sends a random name generating program.
send traveller tm426 tm427 Sends back articles from the traveller list.
index Sends "top level" index
The server's UUCP address is {decwrl|hpda|sun}!athertn!archive-server.
Note the confusing thing about the email addresses: our domain name is
atherton (with an 'o') but the UUCP name of our mail server is athertn
(with no 'o').
Have fun with this. If you have problems, send me email.
