Subject: Problems with mail server requests

This item is no more valid. Garbo's mail server has been
discontinued as an outmoded method of transferring the files, and
because of the extra load it causes on the system.

 Q: I sent a mail server request to Garbo but I get no response at
all. And I am sure that I did everything as instructed.

 A: In that case your, or your system's, email address is probably
badly configured. Please contact your own system manager.
   DON'T send a repeat request until your email address problem has
been resolved!!! This is very important, so I repeat DON'T! (If you
persist, regardless, I am afraid that we will cut your access to
Garbo altogether.)
   What happens is this. We get your request, but when Garbo tries
to honor your request to send you the file(s) by email, the email
bounces back to us because of the problems in your email address.
If you send repeat requests, it will just clog our postmaster with
the bounced email.
   Try using a corrected mail address to return the requests. You
can do this by adding the following command to (the body of) your
message to our mail server.
    reply-to YourEmailAddress
 e.g.
    reply-to youruserid@yourmachine.yourdomain.yourcountry
    get WhateverYouWant
You should contact your system manager to asses an optimized path
especially if you are using UUCP or BANG paths to get your mail
delivered to us. Our mail server checks the mail queue every 15
minutes so if you don't get response in a reasonable time you'd
better check this one out with a little help from your friends.
