This is not correct. IETF has quite a lot of headache with e-mail from/to other networks and non-standard common practice (known as de-facto standards), and they do pay a lot of attention to these issues when developing standards. The problems are with badly configured servers, and not with the standards. As for attachments, the convention is that when you use the word attachments you mean MIME attachments. As for "From " field, as seperators, this is not part of SMTP, but rather a part of the way Unix keep messages and identify when a new nmessage begins. When on SMTP the command "From " arises, it is before the text is interpreted as a body of a message, and thus does not make any problems with conflicts. The problem is in the way "From " is interpreted by Unix (if it appears after a blank line, it is interpreted as a begining of a new message). This is the convention on Unix, and on Unix-like folders (supported by many e-mail software on Win95/Win98/WinNT etc.) The convention is that when the message leaves the SMTP environment, any "From " which appears in the body of a message after a blank line should get a preceeding ">". Many mail sending agents also add this ">" in such cases. As with the period as a single line. This isuue is part of SMTP as according to SMTP commands "<CR>.<CR>" without the quotes, is the way the sending server tells the receiving server, that the message has ended. The RFC which explains SMTP (RFC821) also refers to the way sending SMTP servers should change appearences of "<CR>.<CR>" in the body of the message so that it won't be interpreted as an end of message.

This idea is BAD BAD BAD. You do not under any circumstances forward mail back to the sender because the spam message could have a forged address. In addition, this is called "mailbombing" by most ISPs and is thoroughty frowned upon. In fact, it could get your account terminated. The best method is to have a Unix shell account and setup Procmail to filter messages. This is the method I use. All spam messages go to dev/null before I even see them. The filter needs tinkering every once in a while to catch a new bulk emailer program but on the whole is a very effective tool. No doubt in the future some lamer is going to try and do what has been done at Wireworm, that is, start a spam attack at my autoresponder. However, all I will have to do is to grab a message, tinker with a filter, and directly dump the mail to dev/null. -- Gerry Boyd -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1999 11:14:31 EST From: John W Goodin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: NEWS: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Down or dead?

(Like [EMAIL PROTECTED] with switch -l) Use an ftpmail server to open an ftp site and then use the directoy command. Example: TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SUBJECT: [leave blank] BODY of message open oak.oakland.edu -- point to the FTP site dir -- get a directory listing quit -- go home !!! Or alternatively you can get a recursive directory list of all files on the site (up to a maximum of 15,000 lines). TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SUBJECT: [leave blank] BODY of message open oak.oakland.edu -- point to the FTP site ls -lsR -- recursively list all files and directories, one per line with sizes, etc. quit -- go home !!! Actually, you should always look for a "ls-lR" file in the main directory of an ftp site as it usually contains at least an "ls -R" listing. It so happens that the Oak site doesn't have an "ls" text file but does contain a 1.4Mb file named "index-byname" that does have an "ls -R" list. If you check ftp.uwasa.fi you will see that it has an "ls -lR.Z" 247Kb compressed archive of all files and directories at the site. The file is located in the main directory. Similar files exist at many of the ftp sites. -- Gerry Boyd -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1999 17:21:43 -0800 From: mary m boondy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Net-Tamer Hi you all What is it?

Does anyone know of a utility to combine files automatically? Would you believe a batch file? For all of you that want to know how to "glue" together many separate uuencoded files, here is a DOS batch file that will do the work for you.

That is, you saved them as file1.uue, file2.uue...filen.uue If you saved them out of order then they will be combined out of order. In my case I never have to worry about this because I always sort the directory first before running the batch file. NOTE: If you are running Win95 -- then watch out for sorting directories because you will trash your long filenames. You must run the LFNBK utility or have a specific Win95 utility program to sort directories. No problem for DOS, Win 3.x, or OS/2 users (:>) This batch file can be improved to automagically place the "1" , "2" , etc. in the file name if you desire. Use the FOR %%variable IN (set) DO command.
