Mailman is our MLM choice, Matt is still lame enough to use sendmail and needs to upgrade to faster delivery MTA one-of-these-days (Qmail vs. Postfix!).
Mailing Lists
We currently host two mailing lists, our general list (approximately 1100 subscribers) & a Net/Open/FreeBSD driver issues/tweaks.
Both are configured for members only mode, you must post from the same email account you subscribed as (user-filter@domain.tld
addresses seem to work fine).
Netiquette
Standard geek MLM policies apply to all of our hosted lists, please follow the rules:.
- Send email in plain-text, rich-text format & HTML is not welcomed here.
We've diverse group, with a diverse set of MUA's (a quick grep reveals
over 80 unique email clients); please configure your MUA appropriately.
- Use clueful subjects "HELP ME!" isn't such an example.
- Limit commercial advertising, Google does exist for a reason. A working
URL and a paragraph or two is good enough for us.
- Signatures should be limited to a maximum of 5 lines. Confidential
agreements are especially big no-no's, nothing you post is private, it's
automatically forwarded to all the other members & it permanently archived
on the web.
- Don't attach PGP keys, instead; include a URL. Same situation as "private email signatures", a mailing list is not private and doesn't need encryption. If someone wants to send you encrypted email, they can contact you privately for your key.
