Specifically, this means that only e-mails containing a subscribed e-mail address in the From: field reach the Moderator. Messages from non-subscriber addresses are rejected to protect list resources against spam. CMRL subscribers can subscribe under as many of their e-mail addresses as desired if they want to post from different accounts. Of course, subscribing under multiple e-mail addresses means that you receive CMRL postings at each of those addresses. Attachments Policy Subscribers should not use attachments in their messages. Attachments present a virus risk to other list members, and they can be extremely inconvenient for members with slower Internet connections. Please place your content within the email message itself, not as an attachment. In the vast majority of cases, messages with attachments will be discarded by the CMRL Moderator. Auto-Reply Policy Subscribers should refrain from using the Auto-Reply feature available in many e-mail programs. Auto-Replies are messages that are sent to people automatically when you are on vacation. When a subscriber selects this option, the CMRL Moderator receives an auto-reply for every post to the list. If you must use the auto-reply feature, please unsubscribe from the list while you are on vacation and re-subscribe upon your return. Default Reply Setting This list is configured so that your reply to a message is sent to the entire list, not to the author of the original message. Therefore, if you click "Reply" to a message from the list, your message will be submitted to the CMRL Moderator for posting -it will not go to the author of the original posting. If you need to contact only the author of a posting, please copy their email address from their signature and email them privately.
