<h1>REPORTING A PROBLEM OR ASKING FOR HELP? If you haven't already, please
read the <a href="http://www.shorewall.net/support.htm">Shorewall Support
Guide</a>.<br>

<p align="left">If you experience problems with any of these lists, please
let <a href="mailto:postmaster@shorewall.net">me</a> know</p>

<p align="left">You can report such problems by sending mail to tmeastep
at hotmail dot com.</p>
<h2>A Word about the SPAM Filters at Shorewall.net <a
href="http://osirusoft.com/"> </a></h2>
<p>Please note that the mail server at shorewall.net
checks incoming mail:<br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>against <a
href="http://spamassassin.org">Spamassassin</a> (including <a
href="http://razor.sourceforge.net/">Vipul's Razor</a>).<br>
</li>
<li>to ensure that the sender address is fully
qualified.</li>
<li>to verify that the sender's domain has
an A or MX record in DNS.</li>
<li>to ensure that the host name in the HELO/EHLO
command is a valid fully-qualified DNS name that resolves.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Please post in plain text</h2>
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 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>(explitive 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. This
means that HTML-only posts will be bounced by the list server.<br>
<p align="left"> <b>Note: </b>The list server limits posts to 120kb.<br>
</p>
<h2>Other Mail Delivery Problems</h2>
If you find that you are missing an occasional list
post, your e-mail admin may be blocking mail whose <i>Received:</i>
headers contain the names of certain ISPs. Again, I believe that such
policies hurt more than they help but I'm not prepared to go so far
as to start stripping <i>Received:</i> headers to circumvent those
policies.<br>

<h2 align="left">Shorewall CA Certificate</h2>

by Shoreline Firewall (such as the one used on my web site),
you may <a href="Shorewall_CA_html.html">download and install my CA certificate</a>
in your browser. If you don't wish to trust my certificates

Shorewall mailing lists or you can use secure access (SSL) and accept
the server's certificate when prompted by your browser.<br>

<h2 align="left"><a name="Unsubscribe"></a>How to Unsubscribe from one of
the Mailing Lists</h2>
<p align="left">There seems to be near-universal confusion about unsubscribing
from Mailman-managed lists although Mailman 2.1 has attempted
to make this less confusing. To unsubscribe:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="left">Follow the same link above that you used to subscribe
to the list.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left">Down at the bottom of that page is the following text:
" To <b>unsubscribe</b> from <i>&lt;list name&gt;</i>, get
a password reminder, or change your subscription options enter
your subscription email address:". Enter your email address
in the box and click on the "<b>Unsubscribe</b> or edit options"
button.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left">There will now be a box where you can enter your password
and click on "Unsubscribe"; if you have forgotten your password,
there is another button that will cause your password to be
emailed to you.</p>
</li>
</ul>
