- <b>Subscribe your posting address.</b> As an anti-spam
|
|
|
- measure, postings to most Boost mailing lists will only be
|
|
|
- accepted if the posting's "From:" header contains an email
|
|
|
- address that is subscribed to the list. If you try to post from
|
|
|
- an address that isn't subscribed, you will probably get a
|
|
|
- message that says:</p>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- <blockquote>
|
|
|
- <tt>You are not allowed to post to this mailing list, and your message
|
|

- has been automatically rejected. If you think that your messages are
|
|
|
- being rejected in error, contact the mailing list owner at</tt> <i>list
|
|
|
- administrator's email address</i>.
|
|
|
- </blockquote>If you need to post from multiple email addresses, you
|
|
|
- should subscribe each one separately. You can configure your subscription
|
|
|
- settings for any address to disable mail delivery via each mailing list's
|
|
|
- web interface.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- <p>Even postings made through the <a href=
|
|
|
- "http://www.gmane.org">GMane</a> news server need to be made from
|
|
|
- subscribed addresses because GMane simply forwards your postings
|
|
|
- on to the appropriate email list. Don't be fooled by GMane's
|
|
|
- authentication message that says "you are now authorized to post
|
|
|
- to this list" after you answer its autogenerated mail; only
|
|
|
- subscribed addresses may post.</p>
