Mail
The Silicon Graphics Workstations are not set up for
mail. You will need an account on the PWF, or on another appropriate
computer, to do this.
The workstations are not registered for mail on the national
name servers. All mail which is addressed outside the system
will be received by the system manager. All incoming mail
will be lost.
You can send mail to yourself, and occasionally the system
may send you mail - particularly if you run batch jobs.
If you get a message telling you that you have mail,
type mail to read it, then d to delete
it.
Mail messages are periodically purged from the system, so
do not use mail to store important information. Purges
occur when the mail spool gets too large, and will happen
without warning.
If you want access to mail facilities, apply for an account on
a University Facility (Hermes and the PWF, or CUS). Apply
through your college, or Chris Chalk, the Chemistry Department
Computer Officer.
