<h2><a name="Moderated"></a>Mailing Lists are Moderated for Non-Member
Posts</h2>
Given recent problems associated with viruses (and the more annoying
problems of clueless mail admins who configure their AV software to
spam
innocent bystanders during a virus storm), the Shorewall lists are
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>

<h2>Please don't hijack another poster's thread</h2>
<h2><a name="Hijacking"></a>Please don't hijack another poster's thread</h2>
On shorewall.net as elsewhere, it is considered very bad netiquette to
hijack another poster's thread by simply replying to a list post and
changing the subject to a different one. Please start a new thread when
you wish to introduce a new topic for discussion.<br>
<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>
