Moderator's note: limit your bulky disclaimers

[Kelly Martin <kel () securityfocus com>]

Greetings,

There have been many posts to the list recently with bulky disclaimers,
often in excess of 10 lines long. These are annoying and of questionable
legality, especially when you post a message to a mailing list with 12,000
people and you have no control over who receives your email.

I have been approving some of these messages for the time being, but I've
also issued a friendly warning message directly to the offenders. In the
future I may well reject posts outright with these bulky disclaimers.

If this applies to you, please adjust your mail software so that
disclaimers are not attached to your emails, or at the very least limit
them to just a few lines. If you are not able to do this, consider using a
free email provider such as Yahoo, Hotmail or Fastmail (free IMAP) where
you have control over the signature.

Aside from this (and as always) thanks for contributing to
Security-Basics!
