You'd better get the syntax right:

Newsgroups: news.misc,alt.flame,comp.whatever,...

No spaces around the ",".

It might help if the RFC was revised to honor only the "From:" address
and not the "Reply-to:" address.  This would make it at least slightly
harder to use a sendsys to mail-bomb someone else.

Let me once again suggest that it would be a good idea if we all decided
to respond to sendsys messages only when the left-hand-part of either
the "From:" or "Reply-to:" field is "sendsys". This would make it
impossible to bomb an individual's mailbox. It would also prevent
bombing any machine that was directly on the Internet (the SMTP
procedure for rejecting such mail would not involve sending the message
itself. The reply to the 'rcpt-to' would indicate "address unknown" and
the SOURCE system would bounce it. Not zero-load obviously, but far better
than the current situation where the message gets sent, the recipient's
mailbox gets flooded, and the target machine starts bouncing them
or /dev/nulling them).

It does not entirely prevent bombing uucp sites, but Internet sites
feeding uucp sites can decide to filter mail addressed to 'sendsys'
and have a reasonable expectation of it doing some good. This too
could be done in such a way that it results in an SMTP rejection
and thus in bouncing it at the source.

The same logic applies to senduuname and version.

If this means ammending the RFC, then the sooner we start, the sooner
we can take most of the teeth out without removing the usefulness as
well.

In particular, the Usenet RFCs state that your sys file is public information.

You send out a global sendsys and see how long your mailer is able to live.

When someone from a place that probably does have very high bandwith
connections sends out a global sendsys that says "Testing", I would think it
is needless to say ignore it.

The point is that they ARE your net neighbors. You exchange news with those
sites via your feeds. A sendsys from a site with which I directly exchange news
makes a lot of sense, however a request from joeuser@foo.somewhere does not.

The contents of a sys file can contain information which a site might consider

If you have a secret project and you are foolish enough to name the feed
"projectfoo' then you deserve to be found out. Name the damn thing

I feel the same way.  The original sendsys scheme was useful for automated
mapping though unfortunately it could also be used to harass someone.
You've replaced it with a scheme that's useless for automated mapping, but

  Bah.  You *are* required to respond to a sendsys request with something.
It's written up somewhere in the documentation/RFCs, not that anyone bothers
to read them these days.

  For many years I sent a message instead of my sys file.  Basically it was
a little piece of email saying that if they *really* wanted my sys file, they
could tell me why in a piece of email and I'd send them the public portion
that I felt they required.  The only response I ever got to that message was,

Or to put it more clearly, just because my machine gets a news
feed from IBM does not mean that there is any implied commercial
relationship between our companies.  Therefore the contents of 
the sys file may not be used to draw any conclusions regarding
"secret alliances".

Someone forging a global sendsys using your email address would be what I
consider malicious, considering the amount of mail you will received and that
more that likely your mail handling machine will choke under the load of a
large percentage of all the news sites in the world sending you a piece of
mail.

Sendsys's do have their place.  But I like to control when and where my sys
file (or equivilant) goes out.

Hmmm. Should I go reread the Intro-to-Usenet FAQs? Do they say in there that
"honoring sendsys is part of being on Usenet"? Sure they do.   NOT!

Two problems with honoring sendsys:

	1) sendsys bombs can generate HUGE amounts of useless traffic

	2) There's nothing in my sys file that's any business of anyone
	but me and my immediate neighbors. If one of them wants the info,
	they mail me asking for it.

In the six months or so that I've been running news, I've never gotten a
legitimate sendsys, but I've gotten dozens of either stupid or malicious ones.

I think that Usenet has, unfortunately, grown far too large for the "spirit"
you want it to have.
