Welcome to the KFS.org Web-by-Mail Robot
lorhab@concordia.com.ar ----------
(You are receiving this email in response to an email to www@kfs.org)
==================================================== === Welcome to the NEW
KFS.ORG Web-By-Mail Robot ===
====================================================
----------------- INTRODUCTION FOR EXISTING USERS ------------------
KFS.ORG's web-by-mail robot has been around for nearly 6 years. It is a
*FREE*, non-commercially sponsored or funded service. Up until recently it
operated with no restrictions or limitations at all.
As a result, however, of recent abuse of this service, I am in the process
of bringing online a new version of the robot which tries to ensure fairness of usage and access. Welcome to WEBE (pronounced Webby). The new, kfs.org, Web-By-Mail robot.
The robot is currently imposing the following restrictions:
* + No access to ftp:// URLs - use an ftp-by-mail service instead
* + Access to pornographic material is prohibited; users who are found to be accessing such material will have their access PERMANENTLY removed without any notice.
* + Widely known pornographic sites, such as playboy.com, etc, will result in AUTOMATIC, PERMANENT removal of access.
* + A series of access quotas will determine the speed with which the robot responds to your requests. What are the quotas? At it's simplest, you are limited to 40 URLs per email, a maximum of 30 URLs per hour, and a maximum or 800Kb per single request, or 400kb per hour.
If you exceed your quota, the robot will quietly move your requests to the back of the queue. When your turn comes around again, it will look not only at your previous access, but how many requests you have in the queue. The more requests you have in the queue, the longer the robot will take to respond to you.

Example: If you send the robot 260 requests, it will take 5 hours before the robot starts to process any of your requests. When it has processed the first 26, it will not process more requests from you for another 4 and a half hours.

---------------- INTRODUCTION FOR FIRST TIME USERS ----------------
This is either the first time you have used www@kfs.org OR it is the first time you have used it since we made our latest modifications to our system.
The kfs.org robot is intended to provide users legitimate users with access to online material that for one reason or another they are unable to access. It is not intended to provide people with indirect access to illegal, ilicit or erotic material; infact if you do, the robot will automatically ban you from using it.
This service is provided free, but my resources are limited. Please be considerate in your use of the service. Recent abuse has forced me to impose very strict quotas on how much people can use the service. We urgently need the co-operation of our users to continue providing a service.

------- Some Common Questions Answered -------

1. How can I request more than one web page at a time?
Simple; put "request" as your message subject, and simply list the web addresses in your email. For example, when you receive a web page from the robot, it contains a list of addresses at the end. You can simply reply to that email for the robot to send you back all of the 'linked' pages.
Example:
 To: www@kfs.org Subject: request
http://www.kfs.org/ http://www.kfs.org/web-by-mail.html http://www.yahoo.com/

2. How can I search for pages on the web?
You really need a web browser to do that. The robot is intended to provide access to pages, not as an alternative to a web browser.
There is, however, a very simple search-engine service in the robot!
Send the robot an email containing a line, either in the Subject: line or message body, that says 'search '. For example:
 search www4mail web by mail gateway
If you are using a HTML capable mail agent, such as Outlook or Netscape, you can use 'rawsearch' instead to get HTML pages back instead of web pages.
 rawsearch www4mail web by mail gateway
This is a NEW service and may still have some odd quirks.

3. How can I retrieve pages AS web pages in my mail software?
If you are using Microsoft Outlook or Netscape Communicator, then you simply add "raw," infront of the web page address. For example:
raw,http://www.kfs.org/web-by-mail.html

4. How can I retrieve pictures?
If simply specifying the address for a picture doesn't work, you may to experiment with the "raw," and "bin," options. For example:
www.kfs.org/~oliver/617/images/p51.jpg
raw,http://www.kfs.org/~oliver/617/images/Dambusters.jpg
bin,http://www.kfs.org/~oliver/617/images/617logo.gif
bin,raw,http://www.kfs.org/~oliver/617/images/Lancasters.jpg

However, if you are intending to use web-by-mail for retrieving erotic or pornographic materials, be warned: the robot does not take kindly to this form of us, and will promptly ban you from using it in future. You have been warned.

5. Can I download a web page including pictures?
No. Web-by-mail is designed for web-access, not web-browsing.

6. What are the quota limits?
The quotas are currently experimental. They are intended to bring web-by-mail usage to a sensible level, without preventing people from legitimate usage. The newest version of our quotas will be stricter, but they should cause legitimate users less inconvenience.

7. How can I increase my quotas?
At the present time, no. The whole point of quotas is to eliminate certain usage patterns which the service, as a free, non-commercial service, cannot support. Our quotas are intended primarily to affect those people, so if they are affecting you, you should first consider if you are making fair use of this service.

8. Can I send you some money?
For increased or assured services? No
As a gift? Yes.

9. Why do you provide this service, for free???
Because I am priveliged to have a good Internet connection, and I know there are a lot of people for whom the World Wide Web has many valuable resources, but they have access only to email. The robot is intended to provide these people with that vital access.

10. Why the quotas and limits and everything?
After 6 years of operation, the robot started to be abused no more than 6 months ago. It now uses more than 3 times as much of my Internet connection that I do! My employer is most unhappy about this, and has ordered me to reduce it or shut it down!

---------- Thank you for taking the time to read through this. I hope that kfs.org will prove useful to you, and hope that you will be considerate of the freedom of this service.
