    With things starting to heat up here in Australia (DoD/DSD has
    recently taken to making some exceptionally nasty noises about
    prosecuting Eric Young, Tim Hudson and the rest of the Australian
    CryptoMozilla team). I'd like to remind everyone who's interested in
    aussie/nz crypto issues of the aucrypto mailing list.

                   mail the word "subscribe" to aucrypto-request@suburbia.net

                                         or

                  mail the word "subscribe" to aucrypto-d-request@suburbia.net
                                (AUCRYPTO weekly digest)

    WHEN YOU HAVE SUBSCRIBED
    ------------------------

        Send in a brief synopsis of who you are and why you are interested
        in AUCRYPTO as your first message to the list (this helps
        to stimulate discussion and debate as well as provide a sense
        of the AUCRYPTO community). As a [small] example:

          "Hello AUCRYPTO! My name is Sara Harding. I'm a technical services
           officer working at the AFP (Australian Federal Police), specialising
           in cryptogrpahic issues."

    SUBSCRIBING
    -----------

    Send mail to:

            aucrypto-request@suburbia.net
    or
            aucrypto-d-request@suburbia.net (AUCRYPTO digest)

    with the subject or body of:

            subscribe

    UN-SUBSCRIBING
    -------------

    Send mail to:

            aucrypto-request@suburbia.net
    or
            aucrypto-d-request@suburbia.net (AUCRYPTO digest)

    with the subject or body of:

            unsubscribe aucrypto

    POSTING
    -------

    To send a message to the list, address it to:

            aucrypto@suburbia.net

    Messages under 700 bytes in size will not be accepted. Send your
    one-liners to nobody@nowhere.org.

    REPLYING
    --------

    If you are replying to a message already on the AUCRYPTO list using
    your mail programs reply facility you may have to change the reply
    address to aucrypto@suburbia.net. This is because the AUCRYPTO mailing
    list program is configured to have return replies sent the author
    in order to avoid receiving the replies of misconfigured "vacation"
    programs which automatically send email saying "I've gone to the
    moon for two weeks to hunt rare bits".

    ARCHIVES
    --------

    Monthly back issues of aucrypto since January 96 are available from:

            ftp://suburbia.net/pub/mailinglists/aucrypto

    You can also instruct the mailing list processor to automatically scan and
    retrive messages from the archive. It understands the following commands:

            get filename ...
            ls directory ...
            egrep case_insensitive_regular_expression filename ...
            maxfiles nnn
            version

            Aliases for 'get': send, sendme, getme, gimme, retrieve, mail
            Aliases for 'ls': dir, directory, list, show
            Aliases for 'egrep': search, grep, fgrep, find

            Lines starting with a '#' are ignored.
            Multiple commands per mail are allowed.
            Setting maxfiles to zero will remove the limit (to protect you against
            yourself no more than maxfiles files will be returned per request).
            Egrep supports most common flags.

            Examples:
            ls vomume96 (for aucrypto digest)
            ls latest (the latest directory containes the archived messages)
            get latest/12
            egrep some.word latest/*

    TECHNICAL
    ---------

    The list processor software is based on the excellent Procmail/Smartlist
    by Stephen R. van den Berg <berg@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de> with
    some minor extensions by Julian Assange <proff@suburbia.net>.
