News bulletin #132
4-February-1999
Today's topics:
- New modems in Rehovot; removal of old modems.
- Hummingbird Exceed X-windows emulator.
- Spam mail.
- Mail relay forbidden.
- Home page of Netscape should be our university's one.
- Mount Scopus branch courses.

o New modems at the faculty of agriculture and removal of old modems:
New modems were installed in the Faculty of Agriculture; they support
33,600 and ISDN, and can be accessed on 08-9482000. The old modems
will be disconnected soon.
The old modems in Jerusalem will be disconnected soon, so please move
to the new number (02-6210333).
Users of Rehovot's modems can now use the Win-95 dialler without the
"black window" by following the instructions at:
http://www.agri.huji.ac.il/facilities1.shtml (choose "computer center",
then "facilites" then "announcements" and then "newrehovotmodems".
o Hummingbird Exceed - Users interested in running X11 windows from
their PCs may buy the Exceed PC X-server from the Micro-Shop
(http://shum.cc.huji.ac.il/cc/micro.shtml) at $50 a copy. Please note
that PC-XWare has been discontinued at the University and is no longer
available.
o Spam mail: We get from time to time complaints from various ISPs
about users from our university that send spam mail or spam news
items. Spam mail is either mail sent to groups which are not
interested in the topics of it, or mail/news sent to a lot of
newsgroups. We request you to think twice before you do such things,
as some sites blocks us from receiving further Email/news after they
decide they got spam mail from us.
o Mail relay forbidden: Some "bad guys" use our systems to relay spam
mail and hide the real source of it. Hence, we installed an
anti-relay filters on most of our machines. The most noticeable
outcome of it is that people who set the SMTP server to be one of our
machines might encounter difficulties sending mail (get "relay
fobidden" messages) under the following conditions:
1. The receipient's address is outside our university and you are
dialling from an Internet provider outside the university.
2. Your PC is inside the university but has no name registered (only
IP address).
The solution to 1 is to use the SMTP server of the provider you are
calling, and the solution to 2 is to call the communication people and
ask them to register your computer at the nameserver.
o Home page of Netscape should be our university's one: A lot of people
use the default setup of Netscape in which the homepage is set to
Netscape's one. This causes a lot of unneeded traffic, so people are
requested to set the default homepage to be the university's one:
www.huji.ac.il.

Computer Authority Mount Scopus Branch will hold its new seminars on
