NSFNET-CERT members: PLEASE DO NOT SEND UNSUBSCRIBE MESSAGES TO "[email protected]". MESSAGES WILL BE SENT TO SOME SUBLISTS WITH THE SUBJECT "HOW TO UNSUBSCRIBE"... Please bear with me; it seems that my earlier communication was not as clear as it could have been. WHAT IS THIS LIST ANYWAY? ======================== First, nsfnet-cert was set up a while ago in order to give the NSFNET community a quick means of distributing CERT-related information (CERT = Computer Emergency Response Team = security/hacker/bugfix task force, essentially). Due to the nature of this sort of information, moderating the list (to remove "unsubscribe" messages) doesn't seem to be the answer. For the same reason, setting the "from" field to [email protected] doesn't seem to be as attractive an option as it would normally be. Second, the list on merit.edu is a list of other lists, some of which are at other sites: nsfnet-cert: [email protected], [email protected] (Ken Paquette), [email protected], [email protected] (Mary Hageman), [email protected] (D.Ashton-Reader), [email protected] (Tim McKee), [email protected], << You are probably [email protected], << on one of these lists [email protected], << if the list name [email protected], << doesn't seem familiar. [email protected], << These lists are [email protected], << NOT located on merit.edu [email protected], << so I can't take you off. merit-cert, # some local Merit people regional-techs, # Regional/Midlevel Technicians ntc, # NSFNET technical committee nsfnet-mgmt # NSFNET managers; NSF-types, etc. If you are a "regional tech" (a technical person who works in one of the adjacent ASs of AS 690, the NSFNET/ANSnet backbone), then you probably understand that this list could be useful. If you are not, then you are probably on one of the exploders indicated by the "<<" in the above listing. NOTE: I cannot take you off of the lists indicated by "<<" above. Thanks, Steve Richardson/Merit - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
