problems FTP server software problem reporting address metanic WWW.NIC.FUNET.FI Metadirectory software maintainers managers Everything archive related, which isn't proper for all the 100+ area maintainers but just for the system managers (hks and mea). maints All archive maintainers (ONLY AS THE LAST RESORT!)
If you can logon (anonymously) and read this file, you probably do not have problems with your/our ftp software, therefore you should contact above mentioned area administrators.

If you don't find suitable alias to approach, try: managers@ftp.funet.fi

We also have a mail server for - among other things - to manipulate internal mailing lists. You may wish to join to NEWMSDOS list for example:

Mail mailserver@ftp.funet.fi Subject: Requesting lists and help help ; Stop here for the first time around, your system MAY have ; problems in its mailer, check that you get any response ; from ftp.funet.fi mailer. Then proceed: list subscribe newmsdos Joe User These will 1) print basic help with pointers for more, 2) give you a list of locally known mailing lists, 3) add you to list NEWMSDOS with real name `Joe User' (use your own name). On overall, this behaves much in style of BITNET LISTSERVs, but as it isn't LISTSERV, it isn't called one either.

A WORD OF WARNING: TEST YOUR EMAIL SYSTEM AT FIRST BY SENDING ONLY "help" REQUEST (no "list", nor "subscribe"). This to avoid our postmaster getting bounces because your address didn't work...

There are at least following "NEW"-lists: NEWMSDOS, NEWMAC, NEWAMIGA, NEWAMINET
