Mailing list usage

Before posting make yourself familiar with basic netiquette, read How To Ask Questions The Smart Way. Following are rules more or less specific to IPCop mailing lists:

• search the archives (links are below), your question may have already been answered
• send mail as plain text only, not as html or multi-part.
• put your reply to a message in place and not at the top of a message, in other words: DO NOT TOP POST!
• remove from your answer the part of a message not concerned by your answer, advertising...
• if you select 'Answer', you will reply to the person who sent the mail.
• if you select 'Reply to all', you will reply to both the person who sent the mail and the list.
• mail size is limited to 40 kB, if you need to send a screenshot, send the URL of the image.
• be really very careful with automatic answers, they must never reach the list.
• if you use the daily digest, please strip your answer from the other subjects your not replying to, and replace the digest title with the original mail title.
