What Is SunFlash
----------------
SunFlash is a moderated e-mail based news service from Sun Microsystem's
sales office in Ft. Lauderdale Florida, USA.
This service was created for South Florida Sun Users and Customers. It
is now being distributed to more than 40 Sun Offices so that they can further
distribute SunFlash to their Users and Customers.
The types of messages that are posted to SunFlash include:

o 3rd Party Product announcements
o Sun-related Trade Rags' Table Of Contents
When other Sun offices found out about SunFlash they asked that we add
them and their customers to the SunFlash list. To keep the overhead of
managing this list low, we have arranged SunFlash as a hierarchy of
email aliases. Each office has a list of customers that they forward
SunFlash to. Each customer creates an alias on their own machine.
Customer Admin
- creates sunflash alias for their own users
(adds, deletes, modifies users as necessary)
Sun Office Admin
- creates sunflash alias for this offices's customers.
(adds, deletes, modifies customers as necessary
Sun Ft. Lauderdale Sunflash editor
- adds, deletes. modifies Sun Offices and Sun customers that
are on the internet
More that 80 Sun sales offices all around the world distribute
SunFlash to their own customers. The national Sun Users Group
distributes SunFlash to more than 40 Sun Local Users groups.

As Sun, Ft. Lauderdale is part of Sun's Wide Area Network (SWAN), we
are happy to forward SunFlash directly to Sun offices. As SWAN is
connected to 'The Internet' many customers are easily accessible.
If you want to subscribe to SunFlash, please follow these steps:
1] create an alias on your own machine thus:
owner-sunflash: <you or your system admin>
sunflash: <list of readers>
2] test your alias !
Use /usr/lib/sendmail -bv sunflash
Send test messages telling your subscribers that they have
been added to your new alias. (You could send this message
as a test message.)
3] send mail to your local Sun sales office with a copy to me. Ask
that they add you to their sunflash alias. If they don't have one,
I will work with them to create one. (flash@sunvice.East.Sun.com)
Organisations that Distribute SunFlash
Last update: 10/18/90
The SunFlash mailing list is distributed via a heirarchy of alises.
This is a list of the organisations, especially Sun offices, that are
known to distribute SunFlash.
Note that the version of SunFlash that is sent to the International
offices is not identical to the USA version. It is our policy not to
include USA prices or USA specific promotions in the international
version.
If you are a subscriber to SunFlash and your distributor is not
included in the following list, please tell me how you are getting
SunFlash.
I use this list to help direct requests to be added to the SunFlash
mailing list to the appropriate distributor. You can help me by sending
corrections or additions to flash@sunvice.East.Sun.com.
I do not maintain a list of Sun customers that subscribe to SunFlash.
That would be useful aid to direct new requests to existing subscribers
but it would also be too much work !
The distrbution list is divided into five parts:
o United States Of America
o Latin America
o International
o Sun User Groups
o Private Bulletin boards

Hi Paul ...
I don't know about sun-flash uk, but I get mine from "flashadm@sunvice.East.Sun.COM". According to my list, the request for sun-flash is sunflash-request@sunvice.East.Sun.COM. I understand that things are a little slow right now (administratively), but I am getting my announcements. Sun-flash, as I am sure you know, is Sun and Sun-related product announcements.

Have you ever noticed that the people who are always trying to tell you, "There's a time for work and a time for play," never find the time for play?
