Warning messages from list server

2002-10-14 Thread Dan Knight

Just a reminder to anyone receiving automated warning messages from the 
list server. This situation is beyond our control. Maclaunch runs the 
server, and we have reported the problem to them.

The messages are generated automatically. There is nothing we can do 
about them short of unsubscribing addresses from the list. We cannot fix 
it.

We are working on our own solution, but it's a slow process. If anyone 
has strong PHP and MySQL skills -- especially involving sending and 
receiving email -- we are desperately looking for help.

Our new software will be a lot better when it gets done, and we will 
release it as open source once it's up and running. But until we can 
manage things like reading incoming email and sending it out again, 
managing subscription requests, etc., we're stuck with the current setup.

Notes from the listmom

2002-10-14 Thread Dan Knight

In response to some recent issues, I've added the following paragraphs to 
the list FAQs:

What about anti-spam services?

We already take the steps necessary to keep spam off our lists. Whatever 
filtering you do with your email software and your email service is up to 
you.

That said, we take a dim view of anti-spam services such as Spam Arrest 
that require the sender of a message to respond to a message from the 
anti-spam service before allowing the recipient to receive the posting. 
Such a service inconveniences anyone who posts to the list and is 
unnecessary.

These are all closed lists, so there is no spam. Only those who have 
requested a subscription and confirmed their subscription are allowed to 
post. If that is not good enough for you, please don't inconvenience our 
members by asking them to jump through hoops to keep your mailbox spam 
free.

Any subscriber using this kind of anti-spam service will receive one 
warning. If the situation is not resolved quickly, the subscriber will be 
banned. The burden should be on the spammers, not innocent list members.


And the following to our netiquette page:

Never send test messages to the list. Test when you have something to say 
to the list by saying it, not by sending a test message.


And a reminder:

Except for the swap list, all lists are set up so that hitting reply will 
generate a reply to the list. Because the swap list is not a discussion 
list, it is set up so that replies go to the original sender, not to the 
list. (Exception: digest mode.)


Hope this helps thing run more smoothly.

Dan the listmom

 Someone was throwing this quadra away, and it looked powerful so I picked
 it up.  Was wondering if anyone knows if I can get a PPC upgrade card for

Yep, there are severals. The most stabile one I met was the Apple Upgrade
Card, making a PowerMacintosh 800 out of the Quadra 800. You'll get a PPC
601 running at 66MHz. Runs great at OS 8.1 . OS 8.6 is possible with a hack,
but wouldn't advise that. Have a look for such a card at the swaplist, or
goto http://www.secondhandmac.com or ebay, if you like that.


 I kinda messed it up when I tried to install OS 8, cause now all I
 get is that little Mac that looks pissed at me, and I guess he should be,
 I did make him not start ;-)

Make a clean install, safe from Old System Folder all you need and trash
the rest.

HTH,

Jo

The US MS15s don't have a detachable cable, whereas the Asia-Pacific ones (and
possibly the European ones) did.

At 04:52 PM 10/14/2002, the pickle typed thusly:

'Course, in most areas, it's cheaper to pick up an 8100 board and you can run
all the way to OS 9.1...

But as I recall, there are differences in the ports on the back. So you 
either need a new backplate, or a dremel.
