Not by email AFAIK, because the digital signature servers use a secure
channel on the internet (https:// protocol) to perform some basic
authentication for S/MIME digital signatures. email does not provide any
authentication per se.

The Microsoft site will eventually redirect you to the web site of a digital
authentication provider.
Unfortunately, these "Certifying Authorities" will charge a fee after an
initial free trial period to continue to authenticate your digital
signature.
One Certifying Authority that I am aware of which provides free digital
signatures (authenticating email address only) which you can use for signing
/ encrypting email is at https://www.thawte.com
The good news is that, you can obtain the digital signature from a
web-enabled machine and "export" the digital signature to a file, and then
import the signature on the machine from which you have email-only access.
A bit tricky but can be done. (I've done it!).
Once you have the digital signature, the interface to the email program is
rather nice, but be aware that a largish overhead is added to the size of
your email message when 'signed'.
A good alternative to S/MIME signatures (the only type for which support has
been built in by Microsoft) is the PGP encryption software, available from
various ftp sites (search for PGPOEPlugin.zip - the Outlook Express plugin
and if required pgp553i-win95nt.exe - the OS-integrated encryption
software). The plugin provides a good level of integration with the email
program. These are not the latest versions, but stable for personal /
international use. There are large technical differences between the two
approaches to email security, for which you can get more info from the PGP
FAQ and archives of the newsgroups comp.security.pgp.discuss and
comp.security.pgp.announce. In my opinion, if you are unwilling to wade
through the usage issues presented by PGP, you are better off with S/MIME.

Juno is only available in the US and some "Wesr Indies" (Islands in south

You likely saw the nag-line that juno users have little control of. Ask

Requesting Password-protected Web/FTP sites
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
User authentication support for password-protected sites is also available
by www4mail. To access such Web site/pages conforming to the pattern
`protocol://username:password@site/directory' you need to know (and then
pass on) the correct USERNAME and PASSWORD.
In these cases send an e-mail
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: (... whatever you like)
and write in the body of the e-mail:
http://username:password@site/path
or
ftp://username:password@site/path
where site/path is the machine,domain,directory,file you want to retrieve
and the @-sign is used to separate the string `username:password' from the
site/path.
Once you have received the www4mail reply, you will be able to navigate to
such protected pages without further authentication. www4mail will do it
automatically for you.
Of course, you can get the same information in the body of a e-mail
message and as a plain text file, by adding the GET or SEND options, or as
an HTML source adding GET SOURCE, SOURCE or XSOURCE options.
BUT PLEASE NOTE passwords passed this way, like everything else under
e-mail, are not necessarily private, because:
- www4mail logs in all transactions locally.
- HTTP/FTP transactions with any server via e-mail are unencrypted
and may be intercepted on the Internet.

This is my personal favorite resource. I'm on the mailing list.
Olivier M.J. Crepin-Leblond maintains a list of country codes:
At each release, this document is archived in a number of archive
sites around the world. Amongst them:
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/usenet/news.answers/mail/

ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk:/usenet/news.answers/news.newusers.questions/

in some cases.
The document is also retrievable by E-mail from rtfm.mit.edu by
sending an E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] , blank subject line
and the command: send usenet/news.answers/mail/country-codes
The up-to-date, pre-release document is also available using a
simple mail-server robot:
Send E-mail to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with a subject: archive-server-request
and the command: get mail/country-codes in the body of your message.
The document is also distributed automatically once a month on a
mailing list. To subscribe to that mailing list, send a message to:

You can't now unless you are an ISP or have a need to know. The
Internic now restricts the main domain listing that they used to
have available on their FTP site. In additon, this is a verrrrry
large file because it contains the millions upon millions of domain
names.
This is what Internic has to say
at:ftp://rs.internic.net/domain/README
Effective immediately, Network Solutions will no longer make the
.COM, .NET
and .ORG zone files anonymously available via our ftp site at
rs.internic.net. It has become apparent that these files are being
used by
spammers and domain speculators for purposes other than that for
which they
were intended. Network Solutions will make the files available to any
organization that can demonstrate a technical need for the
information.
If you are requesting access to the zone files in order to receive
a report
of your domain names, please obtain this information through our
report
request form at the URL: http://rs.internic.net/reports/index.html.
If you feel that you need this information you may apply for access
by sending email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The email message should
contain the following information :
- A subject line stating "Zone file access"
- A statement indicating they would like to have access to copies

Dear Mihu:
The suffixes .cn and .it do indeed refer to the Internet domains for
China and Italy.
One of the best lists for finding out what the entire list of country
and region domains for the Internet is to be found at:
http://www.nsrc.org/codes/country-codes.html
If you do not have a Web browser on your computer terminal, I'm sure you
can retrieve the list by sending the appropriate request to an Agora
server.
Furthermore, the list is updated monthly to keep the list users current
concerning the latest information concerning those domains.
You can receive those monthly updates by sending an e-mail message:

Subject: Moral servers
Hello,
I think I could comment this sentence then go back to lurking:
>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.
Murder is not the same as pornography and you do know that. That is really
forced. You can read pornography without harming any human soul (some would
say except your own, if ever, and I may agree somehow).
About China, we do remember that in that country just speaking out one's
opinion is a crime, so let's let that alone (I don't mean to offend chinese
people, on the contrary I think they should react to change this situation).
I think the point is that running a public server means having an
open-minded attitude toward people and life in general. In this society
where you have to pay to get back the least worthless wares or services,
offering thousands of people a valuable service like this for free can be
really praised and considered of social relevance.
But on the other hand you can't make your server run *JUST* for those
documents you agree upon. What if you were, say, a conservatory and a user
tried to retrieve documents about laburist leaders? Wouldn't it be funny to
deny that? Not too much differently about pornography. It has always been
so that many hate it and many others read it. Matter of opinion, no more,
everyone's got his/her own mind on that and it is equally right and
acceptable as far as it doesn't hurt anybody.
If you can't stand basic rules of social respect and comprehension you
aren't worthy of considering yourself a public operator, so you better test
your mettle doing something else and, above all, getting off of trying to
justify your intolerance with theories and sentences like the one above.
That is annoying.
Sorry if I have been too long :-)
Greetings to all,
Elek

If you are accountable to someone else (boss, organisation, government
or ISP), and they object to resources being used for certain
documents, then you have to block those. And you may have to err on
the side of caution, to avoid disciplinary action and having to
withdraw the service altogether.
