Set up SPF for your domain (correctly, setting it up incorrectly can make things much worse) Don't send spammy emails Don't use Base 64 encoding Don't sign people up with permission Ensure there is an obvious way for people to unsubscribe from your email lists -- Alice ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
