Re: RFC for well-known admin email addresses?
Can someone point me to the RFC (I think there was one) that outlined the "well-known" admin email addresses (i.e. noc@, abuse@, security@, etc.)
I did an AltaVista search and a WAIS RFC search @ InterNIC, but couldn't find anything.
I know something like this exists......
That's for the pointers, I found it: <draft-vixie-ops-stdaddr-01.txt> -- Eric Kozowski VP Internet Services eric@structured.net Structured Network Systems, Inc.

1) thats a draft, not an RFC. 2) I believe that isn't the same document, either. Go and look at the RFC index. It usually takes a couple of seconds to find the right document. Perry
The following should be attributed to Perry E. Metzger:

The only index I know if is http://ds.internic.net/ds/rfc-index.html If you know of another, maybe one that is searchable, I'd like to hear about it. Sifting through over 2000 RFCs for a keyphrase like "well-known email addresses" without a search tool takes more than a few seconds. Of course, in this particular case, that RFC is on the first page and has "mail" in the title: 2142 PS D. Crocker, "MAILBOX NAMES FOR COMMON SERVICES, ROLES AND FUNCTIONS", 05/06/1997.

You can try this search engine: --- cut here -- from pauls@etext.org -- i indexed all the internet drafts and rfcs, updated and reindexed weekly. in case you ever asked "what was the RFC in which they talked about..." http://www.etext.org/Internet/ --Paul --- cut here -- -- jared@CIC.Net - CICNET --------- jared@Nether.Net - Nether Network "I've got a question" "What is it?" "An interrogative expression often used to test knowledge, but that's not important right now."

We have one here under http://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/cgi-bin/search/standard/nph-findstd it indexes RFC and Internet-Drafts separately. Note that by default, obsolete RFCs are excluded from the search. Hope you find this useful, -- Simon.

Emacs and the C-S key works wonders for this sort of thing. rfc-index.txt is the key file, btw. Perry
