Eric's address would be [log in to unmask] (if you are in Europe, mail to this list is addressed to [log in to unmask]). I do not know what Harold's address would be. However, if you wanted to contact them as owners of the list, you could send mail to the standard owner address [log in to unmask] (or the North American peer, maybe [log in to unmask]) > LISTSERV began as a BITNET-only application and because of this treats > any Non-FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) as a BITNET address and > sends that mail off to its nearest Internet-to-BITNET gateway for > delivery. This is true. Am I right in thinking that you can send mail to any BITNET node by sending it to [log in to unmask], eg. [log in to unmask] ? (This is just out of interest; I am not a BITNET user, and I am just wondering if it works like JANET names, ie. by adding .ac.uk to make Internet names).
