On Thu, 2 May 1996, J.D. Falk lists some other typical aliases:
Address Operations Area Example Usage -------------------------------------------------------------- hostmaster Network Operations DNS issues security Network Operations System security or hacking www Customer Support Same as webmaster listowner Customer Support Mailing list administrator routing Network Operations Network routing issues nic Network Operations Same as noc news Customer Support Same as usenet help Customer Support Same as support
Here are a couple more in a similar vein: info Customer Support automated response sales Customer Support directed to sales dept. ftp-admin Customer Support FTP administrator Hmm, it'd be cool if there was an automated mailbot for publishing NOC contact information, too -- something like "noc-info"?

ftp-admin Customer Support FTP administrator
Why not just `ftp'? The mailing list admin might reasonably be `listmaster'. It would be best to choose something other than postmaster as the example in the case-sensitivity section, because postmaster is unlike all other addresses in that it is already required to be case-insensitive. It's probably also a good idea to recommend that the canonical form be lowercase. -- Shields, CrossLink.

Same reason that www and webmaster are often separate entities. Since most FTP-related software runs as 'ftp', errors, etc. are usually sent there, whereas ftp-admin is widely used to reach the (human) FTP archive maintainer. // Matt Zimmerman Chief of System Management NetRail, Inc. // mdz@netrail.net sales@netrail.net // (703) 524-4800 [voice] (703) 524-4802 [data] (703) 534-5033 [fax]
