I am using an experimental delivery mechanism for TELECOM now. I have
in place a "second queue", specially for TELECOM. It takes a quick two
line modification to sendmail itself, and some configuration hacking
to do it. I did this because bu-cs (our mail gateway) was overloaded
by TELECOM distributions, so I made a system that I could move around
from site to site as the needs change and as the load changes (if 
we really lose I can have my workstation deliver the digest). The
incoming mailboxes, telecom and telecom-request will always be
at BUIT1.BU.EDU (unless we change the host name).

There are some folks who have "copyrighted" their submissions. I am
going to return unsubmitted any message that is copyrighted because
TELECOM is in the public domain and in order for it to remain a 
valuable asset to the community, it must remain so. I don't want
to get involved with the legal issues of copyrighted material.
Note that also, any material that comes from the AP or UPI newswire
will not be submitted either.

This policy is consistent with my previous notes about message
content. If you announce the latest batch of "illegal sprint codes"
I will not publish that either, in fact that is the main reason why
TELECOM is a moderated digest.

I think we have pretty much settled down from the move. We still get
duplicates, but I suspect that this is being tracked down and will slowly
become a non-issue. I will continue to the best of my ability weed
out the duplicates.
