[Amps] List Administration

[Administrator]

If you have subscribed to this list using an e-mail alias (for example, 
<yourcall>@arrl.net) instead of your "real" e-mail address and the 
post to the list from your "real" address, the message will be rejected. 
"Members only" posting is a key part of the list software's anti-spam 
filtering - otherwise the list would be bombarded by dozens if not 
hundreds of spam e-mails a day.   

The "from"" header (and "Reply-to:" if present) must contain the e-mail 
address under which you are subscribed.  

Those who regularly read the list from another account may wish to 
subscribe from both accounts and set one to "no mail" to suppress 
the second copy of each posting.  

All user administrative functions can be accomplished by going to the 
web page for the list: http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/amps 
and entering your e-mail address at the bottom of the page.  You will be 
able to edit all of your account settings and even change e-mail address 
if you would like.  If you have forgotten (or never set) a password, you 
can request the password be sent to your subscribed address.  

There other anti-spam measures that seem to be tripping up some users: 

1) no message may have more than five addressees (including CC:).  A 
   CC list is not necessary with a mail list - sending an occasional 
   copy to a non-list member (manufacturer, supplier, etc.) is fine 
   but remember the non-member will not be able to respond to the 
   list. 

2) all postings are limited to 20 K.  If you quote (copy) large parts 
   of a previous e-mail or use HTML e-mail, it is very possible that 
   your posting will be rejected.  Use text only and trim any quotes 
   to the bare minimum. 

3) attachments are not permitted - the software strips them.  This 
   includes not only executable and graphic files but also other 
   text files.
