Mailing List Policies
In requesting a mailing list on Prairienet, list owners agree to abide by all applicable policies.
List owners are responsible for:
- understanding the basics of list management
- maintaining and configuring their mailing list
- responding to subscribers queries in a timely fashion
- processing list error mail in a timely fashion and
keeping the subscriber list regularly culled of dud addresses
- bringing technical problems with the list to the prompt attention
of the Prairienet Listproc Manager (listmgr@prairienet.org)
- ensuring the prompt designation of a new list owner should they
decide to give up that responsibility
- ensuring that no one is subscribed to their list without the person's
prior knowledge and consent
The Listprocessor Manager reserves the right to:
- HOLD or LOCK any list for diagnostic purposes
- become an owner and/or subscriber of any list for troubleshooting purposes
- impose daily message limits or designate digest times, as dictated by system resource usage
Additionally, the Listprocessor Manager reserves the right to
suspend or terminate with due warning:
- lists which are inactive after three months
- lists without an active listowner or
- lists where the listowner address and/or the DELIVERY-ERRORS-TO
address does not respond to queries within a reasonable timespan (5-7 days)
- lists that are not being maintained in a satisfactory manner, including lists that are not processing their error mail
- lists attached to iLab sites not in active use
- high-volume lists which are found to be placing disproportionate
demands on system resources
Any mailing list and/or listowner(s) found in violation of Prairienet Acceptable Use or Commercial Use policies (q.v.) may be suspended or terminated without notice.
