KLUG lists FAQ -

The purpose of the FAQ will be to remind everyone of our list guidelines 
and which lists are available. We encourage everyone to think about what 
list would be most appropriate for their message.

KLUG currently has the following lists available:
  Members    - The main KLUG mailing list
  Novices    - A list for Linux beginners to ask questions
  OS-discuss - Pro's & cons of operating systems
  Phpsig     - Discussion of PHP web programming
  Speakers   - Speakers and presentation topics
  Hardware   - A list for hardware discussions
  Inschool   - A list for the Linux in schools project

IMPORTANT: To send to any of our mailing lists, please make sure you follow 
the following guidelines:

* In order to belong to any mailing list, please join the "members" mailing 
  list first. Similarly, if you wish to drop of the general mailing list, 
  please terminate your subscription to all other mailing lists. We do not 
  want to break up our membership into many unconnected lists, and want a 
  common point of contact for everyone.
* You must send messages to the lists from the same email address as you are 
  subscribed to the lists. The list server will reject all email from anyone 
  who is not subscribed to the lists to help eliminate spam.
* The list server will not accept email sent to the list that is sent while 
  you are logged on as the user "root". Please send from a non-root user 
  account.
* There are some "special" email addresses that the list server will reject 
  all email from unconditionally. You should see all emails you send to 
  the lists sent back to you. If you do not, please contact us and we will 
  work with you to diagnose the situation.
* We do not accept and cannot support advertising messages on these mailing
  lists. Advertising is a message intended to solicit commerce for the 
  benefit of the sender. The officers of KLUG, and operators of the KLUG 
  mailing lists shall be the sole judges of what constitutes advertising.
  Anyone violating this limitation will be warned, and if the practice 
  continues, other action, up to and including removal from the mailing 
  lists, will be forthcoming.
  In no case will this restriction apply to specific recommendations 
  regarding the performance of hardware or software, or alerting the mailing
  lists as a whole about particularly interesting pricing or equipment 
  availability, as long as it is fairly clear that there is no connection 
  between the author of the message and the merchants under discussion.

Problems, questions or suggestions related to the lists can be sent to:
  listmaster@kalamazoolinux.org.

Thanks for supporting KLUG!
