: you could use ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com.  send it a "help" message to get started.

On a sidenote, while decwrl may be fast compared to other mailservers, the
fact that all the decoded files are called ftpmail.uu is very annoying.
For this reason i generally use the mailserver at wollongong uni, it
send shared files, so they can be unshared via nn -f (much easier).
and does anyone know what's wrong withe the mailserver at sunsite? I only
used it once or twice and since then it's been offline.
