This was the motivation behind a proposal Werner Gurtner brought forward at the spring 1995 EUROLAS meeting in Munich to develop two similar services for the SLR community: SLRMail: A mail exploder to distribute informations e.g. about - new satellites - new procedures - network problems - data problems - slr station problems - upcoming meetings - ... to all SLR sites, data and analysis centers and other interested parties SLReport: A mail exploder to distribute periodical reports, such as - weekly/monthly reports of global data analyses - reports about data holdings of data centers - ... Each indivudual message and report will be numbered for easy reference. The EUROLAS Data Center (EDC) agreed to develop and install the necessary software. The rules to use the two mail services are as follows: ----------------------------------------------------- - Mails sent to SLRMail@dgfi.badw-muenchen.de or SLReport@dgfi.badw-muenchen.de are automatically distributed to all addresses in two respective mailing list maintained by the EDC. - The first non-blank line in the mail message b o d y has to be an "Author line", i.e. it has to start with the text "Author:", as seen in the current example - The subject field in the mail h e a d e r has to be non-blank. It will automatically be inserted into the message b o d y right after the author line by the mail server - Mails not conforming to these rules are not distributed, the mail administrator may reply with a corresponding message - Allow for up to an hour for the automatic redistribution of the message - Each mail message will be preceded by a numbered header, similar to the IGSMail headers, thus each distributed mail can later be referenced using the automatically assigned mail number - An index file and the individual messages are also available on the EDC anonymous ftp account: Internet: ftp.dgfi.badw-muenchen.de User: anonymous Password: your email address Directory: /pub/laser/messages/slrmail and /pub/laser/messages/slreport Files: slrmail.NNNN, slrmail.index and slreport.NNNN, slreport.index (NNNN: message/report number) or via World Wide Web (WWW): URL: http://www.dgfi.badw-muenchen.de/ or directly http://www.dgfi.badw-muenchen.de/edc/edc.html - Recipients of the current message have already been included into the SLRMail distribution list. To unsubscribe from the mail server or to change the address please send a mail to Wolfgang Seemueller (seemueller@dgfi.badw-muenchen.de) - Institutions or individuals planning to periodically distribute reports through SLReport are kindly requested to contact Wolfgang to help generate an initial distribution list for SLReport.
