John, thank you so much for processing the archives to extract the domain portions of folk's email addresses. I was hoping someone had the ability to do that, and appreciate the time and energy it took for you to do it.
Thanks, again. -Kevin Zembower >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/25/02 07:07PM >>> >(This might seem like a stupid question to this group, but) I'm being >challenged by the folks who can't get my firewall setup to work with >Amanda that I should adopt a more "industry-standard" backup product. >Hogwash. ... Good answer :-). >Anyone have any guesses how many institutions and individuals are using >amanda? There are currently 1187 addresses on the amanda-users mailing list, and 561 on amanda-hackers. Running that all through uniq (and some other Perl magic), I came up with 1257 "domains" represented. Some caveats about that number. Not all sites running Amanda subscribe to the mailing lists, but not everybody subscribed to the list runs Amanda. Also, some of the addresses are clearly internal mailing lists, so the number of people who actually get the E-mail is certainly higher. Looking through the list, paying particular attention to .com's (since they are so much more important the rest of us peons :-), I see several names I recognize right away: 3com.com (3com) adp.com (ADP) attbi.com (AT&T) bbn.com (BBN) boeing.com (Boeing) corning.com (Corning) cypress.com (Cypress) daimlerchrysler.com (Chysler) dell.com (Dell) fedex.com (Federal Express) ge.com (General Electric) goodyear.com (GoodYear) harris.com (Harris) honeywell.com (Honeywell) hp.com (Hewlitt-Packard) ibm.com (IBM) informix.com (Informix) kodak.com (Kodak) mot.com (Motorola) nokia.com (Nokia) nsc.com (National Semiconductor) oracle.com (Oracle) philips.com (Phillips) redhat.com (Red Hat) ricoh.com (Ricoh) siemens.com (Siemans) sun.com (Sun) trw.com (TRW) valinux.com (VA Linux) xerox.com (Xerox) I'm sure there's a few billion dollars of worth floating around there, and I only looked at the U.S. .com entries. There are almost 500 international entries and another hundred .edu's (and if you don't think universities are in it for the money ... :-). >-Kevin Zembower John R.
