UCSD.EDU has the master ampr.org, ampr.org.rev, and amrphosts files available
for anonymous FTP in the /hamradio directory.

These files are maintained by YOU with the help of a mail robot which is
reached at the address      ampraddr@ucsd.edu    They are refreshed
at 5 am (USA Pacific time) daily.

Input to the robot consists of one or more lines of text in the body of
the mail message of the following forms:

hosts table format:
	44.1.2.3	hostname

domain database format:
	hostname	in 	a	44.1.2.3
	nickname	in	cname	hostname
	hostname	in	mx 0	hostname
	hostname	in	mx 10	mailhost1
	hostname	in	mx 20	mailhost1


The robot will also accept DELETE commands in domain database format;
simply replace the last field on the line with the word DELETE and the
matching entry will be removed from the tables.

Records which match existing entries for hostname, type (A, CNAME, MX),
and MX preference value will replace the previous entry.

It is the custom that 'hostname' is either your callsign or a subhost
within your callsign domain, e.g. WB6CYT, PC.WB6CYT, WOMBAT.WB6CYT, etc.
Do NOT include '.ampr.org' in the hostname.

A word on MX (Mail eXchanger) records:  If you specify MXs, you should
have one on the AMPRNET (net 44) so that mail sent to you from other
amateurs can reach you there.  If you also have some way for mail from
the connected internet to reach you, you should specify one or more
mailhosts that are connected to the internet and which will forward your
mail.

Note that is both stupid and a violation of sound networking principles
to use an "ampr.org" address in mail going to the Usenet or internet
when in fact your ampr.org address cannot be resolved to a host or mail
exchanger connected to the internet.  (There are dozens of people doing
this, and it causes a great deal of annoyance!)
