Some of this mail is -welcome, some is not. Unwelcome mail annoys me, because I pay for my -Internet connection, and I don't want to pay for something I don't want. -Even if I didn't pay, unwanted mail still wastes my time, which alone -is bad enough. - -<p> -This page explains my mail preferences. I'm grateful if you read it -before sending me mail. - -<p><strong>I don't want to receive</strong>: - -<ul> -<li> Advertisments I did not ask for. Making me pay for your ads is - rude, and possibly illegal. I react strongly to ads. -<li> Chain letters. Most of them are illegal. All of them are a waste - of network resources. I react strongly to chain letters. -<li> Mailing lists I did not subscribe to, whether they are for ads or - not. I react strongly to this. -<li> Questions about Linux from strangers. I'm somewhat well - known in the Linux community, and I often get questions related - to Linux. I don't have the time to answer a lot of questions, and - much of the time I don't even know the answer. If you send one - to me, I will probably just ignore it. (This point only applies - to general questions; I'm happy to discuss my own activities.) -<li> Questions on other things you think I might know, especially including - Procmail, unless you have reason to believe I'm the only person - (or one of a small group) able to answer the question. -<li> Anything that is big (more than about 50 kB), in one or more pieces. - If you want me to have a big file, ask me first. -<li> Privately mailed copies of public responses to my messages on mailing - lists or in newsgroups. Don't make me pay - for downloading duplicate copies of the same message or wasting - my time reading the same message twice. -</ul> - -<p><strong>I welcome</strong>: - -<ul> -<li> Anything from friends, relatives, and other people I personally know. -<li> Anything I've specifically asked for, including ads or big files. -<li> Anything concerning something I've written (programs, documents, - articles, letters, etc), as long as it related to that. Replying - to my article with an unrelated ad invites hostility on my part. -<li> Anything related to comp.os.linux.announce, which I moderate. -<li> Anything related to the Linux Software Map, which I maintain. -<li> Anything concerning one of my other volunteer activities, such - as creating new groups in the sfnet hierarchy, or about one of the - associations or organizations I'm active in. -<li> Mailing lists I've subscribed to. -</ul> - -<p>If you aren't sure if I'm interested, send me one line and ask me. -Neither of the above lists are exhaustive, and I'm sure there will be -exceptions. - -<p>I used to have a mail filter that was quite aggressive and -deleted all mail from unknown people. I've since softened -it quite a bit: now, the filter deletes nothing, but puts -mail from unknown people in a separate folder, which I check -when I feel like it (not necessarily very often). The filter -also sends back a note that tells what happened. (Read the <a -href="mailfilter.html">description of the filter</a>, if you're -curious about it.) - - -<p>I don't engage in e-mail bombs (sending many large or mails to the same -address) or other forms of Internet terrorism. I don't even suggest -other do. On the contrary, I react with hostility to people who suggest -such things. Most of them are just ignorant, but that is not an excuse. -Network abuse is network abuse, regardless of why you do it. If you send -a mail bomb, you deserve to get thrown out of the net. Period. - -<h2>Privacy</h2> - -<p>I like to keep my private stuff private. If you can, please do PGP encrypt -your mail to me (you can download my PGP public key -<a href="lars-public-key.asc">directly</a> or from the -<a href="http://www.pgp.net/pgpnet/">key servers</a>). - -<p>Please also PGP sign your letters, because Netscape made -forging the sender trivial and popular. - -<h2>The address</h2> - -<p>My personal e-mail address is liw@iki.fi. Other addresses may or may -not work. MIME is OK. My home page is at -<a href="http://www.iki.fi/liw/">http://www.iki.fi/liw/</a>. - -<p>Articles meant for comp.os.linux.announce should be sent -to linux-announce@news.ornl.gov, not to my personal address. -The address must be in the To: or Cc: header. I reserve the -right to ignore any articles sent via mailing lists or with Bcc:. News -programs can usually send it to the correct address.
