ZMAIL
is now available
To get a zmail license, you need to satisfy the following qualifications
- Have physgi01f.phy.bnl.gov as your primary e-mail server.
- Be either a Physics Department staff member or a visiting scientist/graduate
student spending their majority of there time here in BNL doing your research
work.
If you want a zmail license, the send e-mail to root@physgi01f requesting
one. There are a limited number left and are being given out on a first
come, first serve basis.
