> Is this change to draconian? I don't think this is draconian, but you can probably save yourself some list admin work.
I suggest some additions to the auto-responder e-mail: 1) Indicate that attachments (other than a GPG signature) are not allowed, and instead should be included in-line with the main e-mail body. This would also be a good place to mention any length limits currently in place. 2) Add a "details" section indicating the two Content-types allowed (and any other specifics not already mentioned)...while there should be a clear and basic description of list filtering for the average HTML e-mail user, we should also provide clear details for those users who can understand and use them. Suggested form of alternate auto-response below...please modify for exact list behavior (ie are html e-mails rejected, dropped, or queued for administrator examination? What about messages with attachments?). I think with a bit more detail in the bouce message, you can lighten your administrative load substantially... NOTE: I removed the part about creating a SF support request. The mail list works the way we as a group decide it should...there should't be an SF support request just because someone can't post with their favorite HTML stationary, add GIF smiley's, or whatever... Charles Steinkuehler http://lrp.steinkuehler.net http://c0wz.steinkuehler.net (lrp.c0wz.com mirror) Maybe something like: This list rejects HTML e-mails, and does not allow attachments. Please configure your email client [1] to send text/plain messages to this list. [1] http://www.expita.com/nomime.html Instead of attachments, you should include any diagnostic information as in-line text in the main message body. Please note the maximum size for any message is <???> bytes. Details: Only messages with a Content-type: of "text/plain" and "multipart/signed" are automatically posted to the list. Other content-types are: <which one?...maybe more than one?> - Queued for administrator inspection - Sent to the bit-bucket - ??? <more filtering details here, re attachments, spam filtering, etc> If you have any questions about this policy, please send them to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
