RFC 574: Announcement of a Mail Facility at UCSB ✨

Okay bestie, this is a 1973 RFC from M. Krilanovich at UCSB, and it's giving tiny, iconic, straight-to-the-point 💅

The title block says this is RFC 574, part of the Network Working Group, with the NIC number 19144 🎀 It was written by M. Krilanovich at UCSB and dated 26 September 1973. The original doesn't say what category it is, and it doesn't list any RFCs it obsoletes or updates, so there's nothing to fill in there 🫶

Okay, so the main event: UCSB now has a server program running under socket 3 🔌 It supports the bit of the File Transfer Protocol that's needed for mail delivery, and for now only the MAIL and BYE commands are implemented 💌 So it's a very focused little mail setup, no extra drama ✨

To send mail to someone at UCSB, you put their local user name in the MAIL command 📬 These are the people who are officially valid recipients of Network mail right now, with their user names:

  • Ed Faeh (FAEH) 🧚
  • Jim Guyton (GUYTON) 🌸
  • Mark Krilanovich (KRILANOV) 💜
  • Curtis Mosso (MOSSO) 🦋
  • John Pickens (PICKENS) 🍓
  • Ron Stoughton (STOUGHTN) ⭐

And if you've got general comments or complaints about UCSB services? Send them to user name GRIPE 😭🔥 That's the whole vibe, honestly iconic.
