I am not a lawyer, but you (the original poster) need to think *hard* about
posting an article with such descriptions in it. There are clearly delineated
things you may not legally require or imply as required (such as being a male 
or female), which some hungry lawyer will take you to the cleaners for saying.

If somebody doesn't take legal action on this item, then it can still be
used in a sexual dicrimination case in the future, as evidence of a pattern of
discrimination. In other words, you may (or may not) be setting up your client
for big trouble on down the road.

This is an arguable point (i.e women may also wear ties), but why not make it
easy on yourself and your client, and avoid legal pitfalls in the future. Even
if you win a legal challenge, it will still be a lot of hassle. And it is 
already generating unfavorable publicity for you and your client, as you may
have noticed from other posters.

It is just as easy to say "must wear a suit" or "must dress up" or whatever
the jobs requires (leaving aside the philosophical issue of how that 
makes the job more or less desireable).

Good luck, 

Jaime

Furthermore, On the occassions when encountered really poor response time, 
I've complain via FEEDBACK, specifically noting that I think it's unfair to 
charge me for longer connect time because of their inability to provide 
decent service.  CIS has consistently responded by creditting my account with 
time, and more time than I complained about, at that.

For example, I had one session where response was ungodly slow.. minutes at 
times.  I probably got 10 minutes or so of useless but connected time.  When 
I complained, CIS creditted me with 30 or 60 minutes (I can't remember which 
now).

Does anyone know how the average site can do this?

I have a similar problem. My fixed price agreement with PSI says I can't pass
"third party" email thru them. However, when I asked if they could filter it,
the answer was NO. They put it in the contract, but then don't make it easy
for you to comply. Fortunately I haven't noticed any traffic yet.

I'm running the stock smail2.5/sendmail that came with my ISC Unix 3.01.
I don't understand sendmail well enough to know if I could come up with a
.cf change that would keep me from feeding third party email to PSI, and
also would drop any third party email from PSI onto the floor.

Lots of sites around me run smail3.1, and I'd eventually like to run that.

So the question is simple:

	Can smail2.5/sendmail5.65 be configured this way?
or
	Can smail3.1.28 be configured this way?

Some commercial uucp providers offer to install an MX record and
register a domain name with NIC as part of their service.
Their advertising sometimes implies that there is some
considerable effort involved.

How much effort?  What does it take to register a DNS address with NIC?
What does it take to install an MX record, and where is it installed?
If I change providers, what does it take to replace the old MX record
with a new one?  Do I have to re-register with NIC also?
Is there an Internet-RFC which answers these questions?

DNS == domain name service
NIC == Network Information Center
MX == ??

One of the services that a2i provides is the ability to filter your
mail.  It's done by feeding all mail destined for your domain to either
a perl script that we provide, or any program that you may supply and
maintain yourself in your own home directory.  Filtering can be done
using any algorithm you wish.  E.g., you could bounce mail passing
through your host whose destination address matches one or more perl
patterns that you write.

By the way, even though the UUNET folks have some unhappy customers,
the rest of us do owe them our gratitude for making so much anonymous
ftp stuff freely available to the Internet.  I don't know of any other
service provider who is so generous.

There is not alot of effort involved, but it does take some time.
It can take the NIC a 1-2 weeks to process a domain application.
There is nothing a service provider can do to get around that waiting
period.  The hardest part that most customers face is configuring thier
sendmail.cf (or equivalent) to reflect thier new domain name.

With Netcom, you have to fill out a small form (via e-mail).  The form
will ask you questions like:

	What is your uucp name?
	What domain name do you want?
	What is your company name and address?
	Who are your administrative and technical contacts?
	Describe your company (about one paragraph).

(Yes...its just the standard NIC form with questions 7,8 and 9 removed)

Switching service providers is almost as easy as getting a new domain.
Basically, you want to stay with both service providers for 3-4 weeks.
During that time, the NIC will switch the records to point to the
new service provider.  About a week after the switch, you can dump the
old service provider.

>DNS == domain name service
>NIC == Network Information Center
>MX == ??

MX == A pointer to a machine that is willing to forward your mail.
Since your machine is not on the Internet, you have to find a machine
on the Internet that is willing to forward your mail for you.  Thats what
Netcom, UUnet, PSI, and many others do.

And to which I add:

or larger average file sizes, or more responsive customer machines, or shift in bottlenecks
at uunet, or possibly better uunet service (from horrible to bad), or any number
of things independent of the quality and speed of service provided to individual
customers.

The numbers you should also track are current non-responsive server connect time
charges vs. expected connect time charges for a highly responsive uunet server?
IE how much is the excessive loading costing your customers, then ask how can this
excessive billing be used to improve service the the expected level, and retain
customers or attract new customers.

And to which I respond:

The praise us or get lost attitude will not keep uunet in business over
the long term ... although you may feel some comfort in the current level
of demand for UUNET services. In your shoes I would be more concerned with
the rapid increase in competitors ... if you were doing such a good job
why are they proliferating?

UUNET exists today only because the usenet/USENIX community funded UUNET's
creation, and in turn your position. I expect this community also has the
right to demand better service as well as more responsive and cooperative
UUNET management. When I bitched last year, I was blunt about the non-responsive
attitude of uunet, and was clear that seeking management change at UUNET
was clearly an option. That was in private email ... now it's time for
a more public forum:

	Address the issues, cut the insults, and do your job.

A little respect and more civil tone in your postings would be most
appreciated -- and will certainly generate better trust and respect
for uunet and it's staff.
