Valid Internet electronic mail addresses for this information server:

    ya-ya@johncon.com is for inserting documents into the information
    server.

    ya-ya-request@johncon.com is for retrieving documents from the
    information server.

        Documents are inserted into the information server by sending
        the document, in an electronic mail, addressed to
        ya-ya@johncon.com.

        Documents are retrieved from the information server by sending

        ya-ya-request@johncon.com.

This information server responds to the following commands:

    archive rel infix_keyword_expression

        where infix_keyword_expression is an infix keyword expression
        consisting of keywords, boolean operators, and grouping
        operators:

            | is the 'or' boolean keyword operator,

            & is the 'and' boolean keyword operator,

            ! is the 'not' boolean keyword operator,

            and '(' and ')' are the grouping operators.

        The documents that contain the evaluated infix keyword
        expressions are returned in an RFC934 digest, in order of
        relevance.

        Aliases for 'rel': relevance, search.

    archive relx infix_keyword_expression

        where infix_keyword_expression is an infix keyword expression
        consisting of phonetic keywords, boolean operators, and
        grouping operators:

            | is the 'or' boolean keyword operator,

            & is the 'and' boolean keyword operator,

            ! is the 'not' boolean keyword operator,

            and '(' and ')' are the grouping operators.

        The documents that contain the evaluated infix keyword
        expressions are returned in an RFC934 digest, in order of
        relevance.

        Aliases for 'relx': sound, soundex.

    archive rels infix_keyword_expression

        where infix_keyword_expression is an infix keyword expression
        consisting of simple phonetic keywords, boolean operators, and
        grouping operators:

            | is the 'or' boolean keyword operator,

            & is the 'and' boolean keyword operator,

            ! is the 'not' boolean keyword operator,

            and '(' and ')' are the grouping operators.

        The documents that contain the evaluated infix keyword
        expressions are returned in an RFC934 digest, in order of
        relevance.

    archive grep regular_expression

        where regular_expression is an egrep(1) compatible generalized
        regular expression.

        The documents that contain records with the specified
        generalized regular expression are returned in an RFC934
        digest, in chronological order of the date and time of
        submission of the document to the information retrieval
        system.

        Aliases for 'grep': egrep, fgrep.

    archive rgrep regular_expression

        where regular_expression is an egrep(1) compatible generalized
        regular expression.

        The documents that contain records with the specified
        generalized regular expression are returned in an RFC934
        digest, in reverse chronological order of the date and time of
        submission of the document to the information retrieval
        system.

        Aliases for 'rgrep': regrep, rfgrep.

    archive date regular_expression

        where regular_expression is an egrep(1) compatible generalized
        regular expression of the form yy[mm[dd[hh[mm[ss]]]]].

        The documents submitted to the information retrieval system
        with a time stamp that matches the specified generalized
        regular expression are returned in an RFC934 digest, in
        chronological order of the date and time of submission.

        Aliases for 'date': chron, chronological.

    archive rdate regular_expression

        where regular_expression is an egrep(1) compatible generalized
        regular expression of the form yy[mm[dd[hh[mm[ss]]]]].

        The documents submitted to the information retrieval system
        with a time stamp that matches the specified generalized
        regular expression are returned in an RFC934 digest, in
        reverse chronological order of the date and time of
        submission.

        Aliases for 'rdate': rchron, rchronological.

    archive version

         will return version information about the information server.

    archive help

         will return this help document.

Electronic mail format for commands:

    Commands may be in the subject line, for example:

        To: ya-ya-request@johncon.com
        Subject: archive rel (this & that) ! those

    would return all documents in the archive that contain both words,
    'this' and 'that', but also do not contain the word 'those.'

    Or in the body of the message, one per line, for example:

        To: ya-ya-request@johncon.com
        Subject:

        archive rel (this & that) ! those
        archive rel (some | more)

    Multiple/additional valid commands may be issued in the body of
    the message, in either case.

    The command qualifier 'archive' is preferred to insure
    non-ambiguous command interpretation, but not mandatory.

    An acceptable alternative syntax is available:

        To: ya-ya-request@johncon.com
        Subject: archive

        rel (this & that) ! those
        rel (some | more)

    Keywords can contain phrases specifying a consecutive sequence of
    words in documents as the search criteria. The "\\ " character
    sequence is the concatenation delimiter for keywords:

        To: ya-ya-request@johncon.com
        Subject: archive

        rel (this\\ and\\ that)

    The documents that contain the word "this",followed by the word
    "and", followed by the word "that", are returned in an RFC934
    digest, in order of relevance.

    Lines starting with a '#' are ignored.

This list is moderated, and access is restricted. All transactions
with the information server are logged and archived.
