<h2>A Word about SPAM Filters <a href="http://ordb.org"></a><a

<p>Before subscribing please read my <a href="spam_filters.htm">policy
about list traffic that bounces.</a> Also 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"><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>
