<h2>Mailing Lists are Moderated for Non-Member Posts</h2>
|
|
Given the
|
|
recent problems associated with the MyDoom virus (and the more annoying
|
|
problem of clueless mail admins who configure their AV software to spam
|
|
innocent bystanders during a virus storm), the Shorewall lists are now
|
|
moderated for non-member posts. It is also a good idea to mention that
|
|
you are a non-member so that people will include you in the CC list
|
|
when replying.
|
|
<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>

If you want to trust X.509 certificates issued by Shoreline Firewall

in your browser. If you don't wish to trust my certificates then you

can either use unencrypted access when subscribing to 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><list name></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>
