<h2><a name="Moderated"></a>Mailing Lists are closed to Non-Member Posts<br>
|
|
</h2>
|
|
For several years, the Shorewall lists were moderated for non-member
|
|
posts. I've found that this is a pain for me (I have to wade through
|
|
the spam to find and approve legitimate posts). Additionally,
|
|
non-members seemed to almost universally ignore instructions to mention
|
|
that they were non-members in their post. Since the mailing lists are
|
|
set up so that replies go to the list rather than to the poster, this
|
|
means that most non-members who posted were not receiving their
|
|
replies. So effective 2005-03-05, all Shorewall lists are closed to
|
|
non-member posts.<br>

<h2><a name="Plain"></a>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>(expletive
|
|
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><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>

|

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
