Note, that its archive-server@dsi.com  not dsinc.com

I guess that patch 8 got corrupted somewhere in the transition,
as it was good at many of the sites.  Oh, well, thus is usenet.

Anyway, the archive-server stands ready to help.

As a side note, please do not use anonuucp to dsinc to send
requests to the archive-server.  It cannot figure out a viable
return path that way, and your request usually bounces.

Also it will not respond to users named root or daemon to avoid
mailer loops.
