<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>
</h1>
<p align="left">If you experience problems with any of these lists, please
let <a href="mailto:postmaster@shorewall.net">me</a> know</p>
<h2 align="left">Not able to Post Mail to shorewall.net?</h2>
<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>
<li>to ensure that the sending system has a valid PTR record in DNS.</li>
</ol>
<big><font color="#cc0000"><b>This last point is important. If you run your
own outgoing mail server and it doesn't have a valid DNS PTR record, your
email won't reach the lists unless/until the postmaster notices that your
posts are being rejected. To avoid this problem, you should configure your
MTA to forward posts to shorewall.net through an MTA that <u>does</u> have
a valid PTR record (such as the one at your ISP). </b></font></big><br>
<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>

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>&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>
