Partly agreed, but are you unaware of mail servers for these ftp
sites.  I've sent out messages including the two prerecorded parts
(see below) I don't know how many times. 

The wares are available by anonymous ftp from chyde.uwasa.fi, Vaasa,
Finland, 128.214.12.3, or by using our mail server (use the latter
if, and only if you don't have anonymous ftp).  If you are not
familiar with anonymous ftp or mail servers, I am prepared send
prerecorded instructions on request.  (If you don't get the
instructions from me within a few days, it will mean that your email
address cannot be reached by a simple email reply, and you wouldn't
be able to utilize the mail server anyway.)

 ! try one of the many archives in the USA such as SIMTEL20 and !
 ! wuarchive.wustl.edu instead of overseas sites to cut down    !
 ! the load on the overseas link.  Please contact him for       !
 ! further information on SIMTEL20 usage.  One of his email     !
 ! addresses is w8sdz@@wsmr-simtel20.army.mil.  For the other   !

 ! uwasa.fi archives (or some other European site).             !
