See ?§13.7 on page 499 for a discussion of several available packages.
13.6.5 Maintain a Clear Policy
Each subscriber that joins your mailing list should be made aware of your list??™s policies
from the beginning. One common method of distributing policy to subscribers is
to include it in the initial greeting sent to a new subscriber. Another common
method is to post it on a web site. Naturally, we encourage you to do both.
??? The mailing list shall not be used to send unsolicited commercial email (spam
email) to its members.
??? Mailings to the list shall remain on-topic and of general interest to the list as a
whole.
??? Members shall not engage in name calling, anger, or offensive language. Members
shall not post messages to the list that could be construed as defamatory,
libellous, or offensive to individuals, organizations, or institutions.
??? Mailings to members of the list shall be sent directly to each, rather than broadcast
to the list as a whole.
??? Members who violate these policies shall be removed from the list.
??? Subscribers whose addresses continue to bounce for more than a week shall be
removed from the list.
13.6.6 Boot Off Offending Members
As the administrator of a mailing list, it is your job to police that list. Anytime a subscriber
sends an offensive or spam email message to the list, you should immediately
contact that subscriber and take corrective action.
