[squid-users] Policy change due to viruses

In an attemtp to address the virus problem with viruses faking the
sender address as a subscribed user the squid-users list now rejects
messages using multipart/alternative or text/html message formats.

If you get a message like this when trying to post to squid-users:

   Hi. This is the qmail-send program at squid-cache.org.
   I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the
   following addresses.
   This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't
   work out.

   <squid-users@squid-cache.org>:
   ezmlm-reject: fatal: Sorry, I don't accept messages of
   MIME Content-Type 'multipart/alternative' (#5.2.3)

then you will need to reconfigure your mail program to send plain text
email only.

If you have a problem with this, please write to
squid-users-owner@squid-cache.org.

Henrik Nordström
