<i>"Let me see if I can translate your message into a
|
|
|
|
|
|
real-world example. It would be like saying that you have three
|
|
|
|
|
|
rooms at home, and when you walk into one of the rooms, you detect
|
|
|
|
|
|
this strange smell. Can anyone tell you what that strange smell is?<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now, all of us could do some wonderful guessing as to
|
|
|
|
|
|
the smell and even what's causing it. You would be absolutely amazed
|
|
|
|
|
|
at the range and variety of smells we could come up with. Even more
|
|
|
|
|
|
amazing is that all of the explanations for the smells would be completely
|
|
|
|
|
|
plausible."<br>

<li>Please remember we only know what is posted in your message.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Do not leave out any information that appears to be correct, or was
|
|
|
|
|
|
mentioned in a previous post. There have been countless posts by people
|
|
|
|
|
|
who were sure that some part of their configuration was correct when
|
|
|
|
|
|
it actually contained a small error. We tend to be skeptics where detail
|
|
|
|
|
|
is lacking.<br>

|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|

</li>
|

|

|
|
<li>Please keep in mind that you're asking for <strong>free</strong>
|
|
|
|
|
|
technical support. Any help we offer is an act of generosity, not
|
|
|
|
|
|
an obligation. Try to make it easy for us to help you. Follow good,
|
|
|
|
|
|
courteous practices in writing and formatting your e-mail. Provide
|
|
|
|
|
|
details that we need if you expect good answers. <em>Exact quoting </em>
|
|
|
|
|
|
of error messages, log entries, command output, and other output is better
|
|
|
|
|
|
than a paraphrase or summary.<br>

your environment and then ask us to send you custom

configuration files. We're here to answer your questions but

A growing number of MTAs serving list subscribers are rejecting
|
|
|
|
|
|
all HTML traffic. At least one MTA has gone so far as to blacklist
|
|
|
|
|
|
shorewall.net "for continuous abuse" because it has been my policy to
|
2003-02-22 21:15:15 +01:00
|
|
|
|
allow HTML in list posts!!<br>
|

|

<br>
|
|
|

I think that blocking all HTML is a Draconian way to control
|
|
|
|
|
|
spam and that the ultimate losers here are not the spammers but the
|
|
|
|
|
|
list subscribers whose MTAs are bouncing all shorewall.net mail. As
|
|
|
|
|
|
one list subscriber wrote to me privately "These e-mail admin's need
|
|
|
|
|
|
to get a <i>(expletive deleted)</i> life instead of trying to rid the planet
|
|
|
|
|
|
of HTML based e-mail". Nevertheless, to allow subscribers to receive list
|
|
|
|
|
|
posts as must as possible, I have now configured the list server at shorewall.net
|
|
|
|
|
|
to strip all HTML from outgoing posts.<br>
