AUcrypto mailinglist
With things starting to heat up here in Australia (DoD/DSD has
recently taken to making some exceptionally nasty noises about
prosecuting Eric Young, Tim Hudson and the rest of the Australian
CryptoMozilla team). I'd like to remind everyone who's interested in
aussie/nz crypto issues of the aucrypto mailing list.

to stimulate discussion and debate as well as provide a sense
of the AUCRYPTO community). As a [small] example:
"Hello AUCRYPTO! My name is Sara Harding. I'm a technical services
officer working at the AFP (Australian Federal Police), specialising
in cryptogrpahic issues."

POSTING
-------
To send a message to the list, address it to:
[email protected]
Messages under 700 bytes in size will not be accepted. Send your
one-liners to [email protected].
REPLYING
--------
If you are replying to a message already on the AUCRYPTO list using
your mail programs reply facility you may have to change the reply
address to [email protected]. This is because the AUCRYPTO mailing
list program is configured to have return replies sent the author
in order to avoid receiving the replies of misconfigured "vacation"
programs which automatically send email saying "I've gone to the
moon for two weeks to hunt rare bits".
ARCHIVES
--------
Monthly back issues of aucrypto since January 96 are available from:
ftp://suburbia.net/pub/mailinglists/aucrypto
You can also instruct the mailing list processor to automatically scan and
retrive messages from the archive. It understands the following commands:
get filename ...
ls directory ...
egrep case_insensitive_regular_expression filename ...
maxfiles nnn
version
Aliases for 'get': send, sendme, getme, gimme, retrieve, mail
Aliases for 'ls': dir, directory, list, show
Aliases for 'egrep': search, grep, fgrep, find
Lines starting with a '#' are ignored.
Multiple commands per mail are allowed.
Setting maxfiles to zero will remove the limit (to protect you against
yourself no more than maxfiles files will be returned per request).
Egrep supports most common flags.
Examples:
ls vomume96 (for aucrypto digest)
ls latest (the latest directory containes the archived messages)
get latest/12
egrep some.word latest/*
TECHNICAL
---------
The list processor software is based on the excellent Procmail/Smartlist
by Stephen R. van den Berg <[email protected]> with
some minor extensions by Julian Assange <[email protected]>.
