Subject: Re: Net-equitte
I would like to thank everyone who responded to my question on where
to find a discussion of Net-equitte. I have yet to fetch the URL's.
Shortly after I sent in my request things went south and I have been
tied-up with other things, but I do thank all that responded.

Unrelated to some of what you say above, It looks to me like you are
looking to create one of two categories of systems.
1: A mailing list distributer, or perhaps SPAMer.
2: An auto-responder.
For 1A, see 2. For 1B, I HATE SPAM!
For 2: mail programs are far from the same, but I have seen people using
pegasus (I think) mail program macros as an auto-responder. These
include a form of SPAM filter, as well as auto-responder that send one of
many files, based on requests in the Subject: line.

First off I don't agree with the choice of the Usenet newsgroups,
but my real irritation was sending to multiple servers and me!
Believe it or not, some other lamer from this list copied and sent
the same request!!!
Absolutely unbelievable!!!
Secondly, many of the sysdamins at the E-mail only server sites
have "ban" lists in effect to prevent certain sites from being
accessed. So sending for this "junk" won't do any good at all. All
this is doing is causing a hardship for the rest of us as many of
the E-mail only servers disappear.

You can't. Once upon a time the members to a LISTSERV mailing list
had the ability to receive a list of subscribers. However, with the
advent of "spam" most all LISTSERV mailing lists ceased allowing
the retrieval of the subscriber list. Only the administrators of
the list can get the names and addresses. This is done to prevent
unscrupulous individuals from signing on to a mailing list, getting
a list of subscribers, and then unsubscribing from the list.

I run the Web-And-Files bot ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and it is *my
choice*
what sites a user can and can't request from it. It is the same with
every other ACCMAIL server out there. The administrator has the
choice whether or not to allow access to such sites. I do not. If I
see a user has requested something (1) illegal or (2) pornographic,
they are added to my ban list. First of all, I don't want to get in
trouble if someone accesses something illegal using my bot because it
will go back to me, not them. And I don't want people clogging my bot
with requests for pornography because it just slows everything down
for those who are using it for a real purpose -- i.e. getting some
Mozart music or a recipe from the internet. If someone wants to look
at pornography or do illegal things, they can go pay for an ISP.
The reason that SO MANY servers are defunct is because of abuse. If
pornography and illegal material were to completely disappear from the
internet
I would bet that there would be a lot fewer defunct servers.

Morals are the same everywhere -- they are not relative. Murder is
wrong be it in China or Russia, and it is the same with pornography.

You can't on this list. With almost 3000 users this list would be a
good target for spam. That's why the list of subscribers is
restricted to the owner and moderator.

First off, next time you post to this list, please turn off the

If you don't know how to do this, then see:

Great news, another www4mail server has just started in Ottawa,

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- same restrictions and help file as the
Trieste, Italy site.
I have added it to my servers listing:

In addition, the anonymous servers listing was checked and updated.
