COMP.ORG.CAUCE POSTING REQUIREMENTS
Last updated: January 6, 1998

Comp.org.cauce has a moderation policy that is designed to maximize the
utility of the newsgroup to its readers and participants while avoiding a
number of the problems normally associated with newsgroups in general and
anti-net-abuse groups specifically.

Most importantly, you must be using a valid e-mail address in order to
successfully post to the group. If you need suggestions on how to protect
yourself against spam or abuse while fulfilling the posting criteria,
contact <[email protected]>.

If you read the below and are still having problems, contact the same
address.

HOW TO POST:

1.  Send your message, either through your news program, or by
e-mailing it to [email protected].

2.  You should get back a welcome message with a nonsense code word in
the subject line.  Respond to it with "yes" in the first line of the
response.

3.  Message will be posted unless it fails one of the technical
criteria.  You'll get an ack message one way or the other to tell you
what happened.

4.  Future messages will be posted immediately or returned if there is a
technical problem.

Technical criteria:

* Message can be cross-posted to at most one other group which must be
unmoderated and in one of the "big eight" hierarchies.

* Must be plain text, not HTML or multipart/alternative

* Must have a subject line

Hints:

* If your mail and news programs don't put the same From: address on your
messages, fix them so they do.  If you can't, make your news program put the
address your mail program uses in the Reply-To: line so the robot can
tell that both addresses are you.

* Don't mess with the subject line of the reply.

* Do put "yes" on the first line of the reply, not in the subject line, not
at the end of the reply.

* Do reply to the From: address in the confirmation message.  Do not reply to
the strange-looking "return path" which is there in case the confirmation
bounces.
