Subscription information advice

[John E. Malmberg]

If you are trying to subscribe to the SAMBA-VMS mailing list, you need 
to follow the instructions at the SAMBA.ORG mailing list web pages.

Sending subscription requests to the mailing list just go into the spam 
filter, which means that they will probably be deleted unread.

Also if you send the request with an e-mail address of a free e-mail 
provider, then use that e-mail providers mail servers to send the request.

The free e-mail providers have set SPF (Sender Policy Framework) entries 
that state explicitly that only their e-mail servers are allowed to send 
e-mail from them, and that e-mail from all other sources claiming to be 
from them should be considered spam and rejected.

So if you send an e-mail claiming to be from a hotmail.com e-mail 
address and use a mail server is not a hotmail.com or msn.com mail 
server, do not expect there to be any response to it.

The same is the case for any of the other well known free e-mail addresses.
