Welcome to the Anti-Spam-HOWTO!
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The Anti-Spam-Howto" is still in the formative stage. Soon we will have an
|
|
outline, and then content will start to be added. In the spirit of open source
|
|
projects, anyone is welcome to participate.
|
|
|
|
The document itself will be in Docbook XML format and be located in a CVS
|
|
repository at the Linux Documentation Project http://www.tldp.org/. The
|
|
project files can be viewed with a web browser at:
|
|
|
|
http://cvsview.tldp.org/index.cgi/LDP/howto/docbook/Anti-Spam-HOWTO/.
|
|
|
|
For those without tldp CVS access, a tarball of the project files can be
|
|
downloaded at:
|
|
|
|
http://cvsview.tldp.org/index.cgi/LDP/howto/docbook/Anti-Spam-HOWTO/Anti-Spam-HOWTO.tar.gz?tarball=1
|
|
|
|
Occasionally, HTML versions of the HOWTO itself will be posted during the
|
|
development process at:
|
|
|
|
http://feenix.burgiss.net/ldp/antispam/
|
|
|
|
And a single page HTML version will be also be available in CVS.
|
|
|
|
An authoring guide for the LDP can be found at to help those who are not
|
|
familiar with writing documentation in this type of format:
|
|
|
|
http://www.tldp.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/
|
|
|
|
That guide also describes how to use CVS. Anonymous CVS checkouts are
|
|
possible, and once the document has some structure we will send a message to
|
|
this list describing how to check it out. We can then discuss its contents on
|
|
the list.
|
|
|
|
There is a general list for discussions about the LDP, where the idea for this
|
|
project was born, at discuss@en.tldp.org, found along with other relevant
|
|
lists at:
|
|
|
|
http://lists.tldp.org/
|
|
|
|
A mailing list has been created to aid contributors. This list is hosted on a
|
|
machine at McGill University's Network and Communication Services where I
|
|
work. The list server runs commercial software that operates in ways perhaps
|
|
unfamiliar to those of you who have subscribed to open-source mailing lists
|
|
in the past.
|
|
|
|
The following link describes how to use this software and how to change
|
|
preferences:
|
|
|
|
http://www.mcgill.ca/ncs/email/listserv/users/
|
|
|
|
To subscribe, send a message to
|
|
|
|
LISTSERV@LISTS.MCGILL.CA
|
|
|
|
with a blank subject line, and body without signature:
|
|
|
|
SUB ANTI-SPAM-HOWTO firstname lastname
|
|
|
|
That should get you on the list.
|
|
|
|
For example, it is configured by default to send acknowledgements of postings.
|
|
If you want to disable this feature, you send a message to
|
|
|
|
LISTSERV@LISTS.MCGILL.CA
|
|
|
|
with no subject and body containing just :
|
|
|
|
SET ANTI-SPAM-HOWTO NOACK
|
|
|
|
Other options are described in the user guide menioned in the url above.
