We have several new people that have not been told, and several 
old people that need a reminder.....

@sys$mail:everybody  is reserved for official company business 
like new hires, building closures, company announcements, etc. 
As it's name implies, it goes to EVERYBODY.

@sys$mail:junk       is used for other items of interest that 
you want to pass on to ALMOST everybody. This list does not 
include those people who do not like getting junk mail. It can 
be used to send notices of interesting conferences, items for 
sale, interesting ideas, etc. When in doubt, use this one (you 
will rarely need to use the first one).

While I am at it, if you use the POST command from VMS (instead 
of the SEND command from MAIL), the VAX will run the job in the 
background, avoiding bringing your VAX to it's knees.

Thanks!

John
