The Honeypot Maillist Quarterly Reminder
Last Modified: 04 April, 2005
######################################################################


1.0 PURPOSE
===========
1.1 This is the Honeypot maillist Quarterly Reminder.  The purpose
    of this post (sent every quarter) is to be a friendly reminder
    on the issues and etiquete of this maillist.

1.2 It is hoped that these rules will help standardize posts, and
    reduce the noise level.  The goal is to improve the overall
    quality of our list.


2.0 SENDING EMAILS
==================
2.1 The purpose of this maillist is to discuss honeypot technologies
    and anything honeypot related (such as risks, legal issues,
    deployment, deception, etc).  Material that appears as a
    blatant advertisement, or material not related to honeypots,
    will be blocked.

2.2 Individuals new to the maillist are HIGHLY encouraged to first
    read the honeypot maillist FAQ.  Any post that can be answered
    by the FAQ will be blocked, and the author of the email will be
    directed to the FAQ.  This reduces the noise level of the
    maillist.

2.3 When you reply to a posting, please trim your reply so only
    pertinent material applies.  Also, include your response near
    the top of the posting.  We do not want to have threads that
    have replies responding to replies responding to replies, and
    then your reply is located at the bottom of a loooooong email.

2.4 Please post in ASCII format only, no HTML, XML, or anything
    else ending in ML :)

2.5 Please do not send attachments.  Instead, post a URL so folks
    can access your file(s) online.  Not only does this save
    bandwidth and address security issues, but other folks not on
    our maillist can then access your file(s) and learn about what
    you are up to.

2.6 Please no cross postings. This means do not send posts to the
    honeypots maillist that are also copied to other maillists.  Things
    get real messy when people from other lists start cross-posting
    and responding to each other.  The only exception is for
    announcements, such as conferences or tools.

2.7 If you are going on vacation, or put your email account into
    some type of automated response mode, please ensure it does
    not auto-reply to postings on the maillist.  Any accounts that
    do auto-reply are immediately removed.

3.0 LIST MAINTENANCE
====================
3.1 Every mail posted to this maillist is archived.  You can search
    and review past postings at
    http://online.securityfocus.com/archive/119

3.2 Maillist Maintenance FAQ
    http://www.securityfocus.com/popups/forums/honeypots/faq.shtml

3.2 How do I unsubscribe:
    Send an e-mail message to honeypots-unsubscribe () securityfocus com
    from the subscribed address. The contents of the subject or
    message body do not matter. You will receive a confirmation
    request message to which you will have to answer.


As always, if you have any suggestion on how to improve the maillist,
email me directly.

Thanks!
