GCARC E-Mail Reflector Guidelines
- No attachments (e.g. pictures, files) are allowed on the reflector.
- If you have club-related pictures that you would like to share, you can send them to the webmaster, he will put them on the website and he will send out a general e-mail to all the members.
- Otherwise, the pictures will have to be sent to the members’ addresses.
- URLs/Hyperlinks are acceptable on the reflector.
- Do not send any messages with e-mail addresses in the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) field. The message will be rejected. Use only the To: or CC: fields.
- Members are subscribed to the reflector using the member's e-mail address from the roster database. You must use that address when sending an e-mail via the reflector.
- If you use another address on the reflector, the message will get rejected or "bounced", because the reflector does not recognize that address.
- Whenever a message sent to reflector is rejected or "bounced" for various reasons, the administrator has to log-in to the Mailman.QTH website and approve the message.
- If the admin recognizes the address as belonging to a club member, the message is accepted and passed on to the reflector.
FYI...If you use Comcast e-mail, you are limited to 100 addresses per message.
