In the past, someone at Ipswitch used to post a canned message to this list every Friday reminding members about the purpose of the list and ancillary subjects. (It did not really cover etiquette per se, IIRC.) I also posted a message suggesting guidelines almost a year ago (see http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg39351.html) and it didn't make any difference at all. It's a lost cause. The irony is that I suspect that the vast majority of subscribers are mail admins...
Side note: Some noted and experienced subscribers (Hi, Scott) seem to have resorted to pasting pre-typed answers to FAQs such as "How do I stop my server from being an open relay." This is a credit to their helpfulness since people take "RTFM" or "RTFA" as an insult, which should not be the case. Again, it's a lost battle.
