<div class="sect2">
<h2 class="sect2"><a name="AEN87"></a>4.1. Anti-Spam-HOWTO</h2>
<p>Chris Albert asked if the discussion last year regarding writing an Anti-Spam-HOWTO got off ground and <a href="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:4468:200305:oalgiegalcmfindiabbc" target=
"_top">offered to help</a>. Quite a few others <a href="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:4473:200305:hnngjagkpgjpnacjkpjd" target="_top">were interested</a> in helping. Greg Ferguson <a href=
"http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:4494:200306:loceblldbelajghaloeg" target="_top">said</a> that he has been following the discussion with interest and noted that collaborative authoring using
CVS is the direction what he hopes the LDP would move.</p>
<p>Hal Burgiss <a href="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:4542:200306:hnngjagkpgjpnacjkpjd" target="_top">announced</a> that Chris had set up a mailing list for anyone who is interested in
contributing, or just hanging out. To subscribe, send a message to:</p>
<p><tt class="email">&lt;<a href="mailto:LISTSERV@LISTS.MCGILL.CA">LISTSERV@LISTS.MCGILL.CA</a>&gt;</tt></p>

<p>SUB ANTI-SPAM-HOWTO firstname lastname</p>
<p>Chris is working on the <a href="http://lists.mcgill.ca/archives/anti-spam-howto.html" target="_top">list archives</a> for the ANTI-SPAM-HOWTO list, but the list is already discussing the content
of the HOWTO and an <a href="http://cvsview.tldp.org/index.cgi/LDP/howto/docbook/Anti-Spam-HOWTO/README" target="_top">outline draft</a> is in the CVS.</p>
