Hello Arun,

list members remain on moderation if:

1. They are a newly registered member.
2. They top post while replying.

Apart from this, if size of the reply is larger than 7kb then also

their message will be

rejected. These are the only broad criteria for moderation.

This is a good start for stating a policy :) It should be disclosed on the mail list sign up page and in the welcome message.

On an average about 10 emails are rejected every week for not

following guidelines, especially

for top posting.

In my opinion, for this volume of rejection, the list may as well be unmoderated. This is significantly less compared to numbers given by Philip Tellis in an earlier posting. Although, I endorse bottom posting, I'd prefer substance over a syntactically correct message with no substance. An example on the web site/welcome message would help the uninitiated.

You may contact the human owner at linuxers-owner at

Great! I will certainly do so. Note to Webmaster/Anurag: I suggest that above address replace the names identified at the following http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers/. I got no response from the persons currently listed on this page.

Thanks.
