Spam
....

To avoid spam being sent to the members of the 'OpenSS7' mailing
list(s), we have blocked mail from non-subscribers.  Please subscribe to
the mailing list before attempting to post to them.  (Attempts to post
when not subscribed get bounced.)

As an additional measure against spam, subscriber lists for all
'OpenSS7' mailing lists are not accessible to non-subscribers; for most
lists subscriber lists are only accessible to the list administrator.
This keeps your mailing address from being picked off our website by
bulk mailers.

Acceptable Use Policy

It is acceptable to post professional and courteous messages regarding
the 'OpenSS7' package or any general information or questions concerning
"STREAMS", "SS7", "SIGTRAN", "SCTP" or telecommunications applications
in general.

Large Attachments
.................

The mailing list is blocked from messages of greater than '40k'.  If you
have attachments (patches, test programs, etc.)  and you mail them to
the list, it will bounce to the list administrator.  If you are
interested in making your patches, test programs, test results or other
large attachments available to the members of the mailing list, state in
the message that you would like them posted and the list administrator
will place them in the mail archives.
