<h2 align="left">Not getting List Mail? -- <a

let <a href="mailto:teastep@shorewall.net">me</a> know</p>
<h2 align="left">Not able to Post Mail to shorewall.net?</h2>

<h2>A Word about SPAM Filters <a href="http://ordb.org"> <img border="0"

<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 the open relay databases at <a
href="http://ordb.org">ordb.org.</a></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.</li>
</ol>
<h2>Please post in plain text</h2>
While the list server here at shorewall.net accepts and distributes HTML
posts, a growing number of MTAs serving list subscribers are rejecting this
HTML list traffic. At least one MTA has gone so far as to blacklist shorewall.net
"for continuous abuse"!!<br>
<br>
I think that blocking all HTML is a rather draconian way to control spam
and that the unltimate loser here is not the spammers but the list subscribers
whose MTAs are bouncing all shorewall.net mail. Nevertheless, all of you
can help by restricting your list posts to plain text.<br>
<br>
And as a bonus, subscribers who use email clients like pine and mutt will
be able to read your plain text posts whereas they are most likely simply
ignoring your HTML posts.<br>
<br>
A final bonus for the use of HTML is that it cuts down the size of messages
by a large percentage -- that is important when the same message must be
sent 500 times over the slow DSL line connecting the list server to the internet.<br>

<h2 align="left">Shorewall CA Certificate</h2>
If you want to trust X.509 certificates issued 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 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. 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 change your subscription (set options like digest and delivery
modes, get a reminder of your password, <b>or unsubscribe</b> from
&lt;name of list&gt;), enter your subscription email address:". Enter
your email address in the box and click on the "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>
