You have thoroughly studied http://www.lemis.com/email.html 2. You understand what it says 3. Your email app (or whatever) is set up to comply, and 4. You know how to use it to ensure it complies Beware: These days a lot of software has default settings that are wrong, to make it work well with that company's software and hideously with every other company's software. (They tell me it's "marketing" but I have more colourful words for these practices!) Also make sure that it doesn't send out HTML or any other attachments, whether it tells you it's sending them or not. Of course you've all read http://www.lemis.com/email.html already because it covers more than just the use of software, so this is a reminder :-) In case you haven't read it yet, here's the URL: http://www.lemis.com/email.html If you forget where it is, ask for yet another subtle hint :-) I'm going to start pestering everyone here until they get it right. That's better than being criticised elsewhere, don't you think? Discuss here if you have any questions about email. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
