    Introduction

    The rec.pets.ferrets newsgroup was created in October 1995. The group
    originally had a panel of moderators who oversaw all postings. In June
    of 2000 the moderation server experienced an extended outage and the
    group never recovered.

    In April 2002 moderation of the group was passed to Brian Edmonds. The
    team consisting of Brian Edmonds and Pam Greene are running the group
    and a companion, gated mailing list with the assistance of Brian's
    robomoderation software.

    Since its creation a number of control messages have been sent which
    at some sites appear to have erroneously changed the status of the
    group to unmoderated. If this is the case at your site, you should
    bring it to the attention of your news admin, as any postings you make
    to a moderated group which is not properly recognized as such at your
    site will be silently discarded at any site where the group is
    correctly carried as moderated.
    _________________________________________________________________

    Charter

    The group is for discussion of domestic ferrets (Mustela putorius
    furo). Examples of appropriate topics include, but are not limited to,
    ferret care, behavior, history, and legal status, as well as fictional
    works involving ferrets, announcements of ferret-related events or
    resources, and peripherally related discussions between members of the
    "ferret community".

    Miscellaneous Policies

    The moderation software may (now or possibly in the future) enforce
    the following policies:

    * Postings must be in plain text. In particular no HTML or mixed
    text and HTML posts will be allowed. Excessive quoting and large
    sigs are also not allowed. Any post with more than 70% quoted
    material or a sig in excess of 512 bytes will be rejected.
    * Postings must be formatted within 80 characters in width (limiting
    your lines to 72 characters is recommended), and also must not
    exhibit the long/short/long/short/etc misformatting that some
    posting agents can produce when misconfigured.
    * No binary postings of any sort will be accepted. Exceptions will
    be made for cryptographic signatures and such. S/MIME signatures
    are usually far too bulky and will probably not be accepted.
    * Crossposting is not allowed to more than three newsgroups, except
    through manual intervention by the moderator. Contact the
    moderator if you feel you need to crosspost to more than two other
    groups.
    * Followups can be to no more than two groups, or to poster.
    * Mail address blacklisting and whitelisting may be implemented as
    deemed necessary. In addition a number of anti-spam filters are in
    place, and will be expanded as needed.

    All posts (with a working return address) will either be returned with
    a rejection notice, or posted to the newsgroup and mailing list. One
    exception is that rejection notices for the same error are suppressed
    for a few minutes after the first one is sent to reduce the danger of
    the robomoderator being used as a mailbombing agent.

    Posting with a non-replyable address is strongly discouraged. If you
    feel you must post with such an address, please make sure you are not
    using one in a valid mail domain; appending .invalid to the address is
    the recommended way to ensure this.

    Robomoderation

    The robomoderation software (robomod) enforces various anti-spam and
    text formatting requirements. Note that in order to receive rejection
    notices or other information from robomod it must have a valid email
    address for you. More information on the registration process,
    including how to use munged addreses, can be found at
    * http://www.robomod.net/register.html
    * post to the newsgroup or mailing list with the following text in
    the subject (without the quotes): "send file: register.txt"

    Submissions from non-registered addresses will be held for human
    moderation. The moderators may at their discretion register addresses
    for auto-approval, or revert them to hand moderated status.
    _________________________________________________________________

    How To Submit a Post

    At a correctly configured site you should simply be able to post to
    rec.pets.ferrets and everything will be managed for you behind the
    scenes. If you find this does not work for you, you can submit
    directly to the submission agent by mailing your posting to
    rec-pets-ferrets@robomod.net.

    Please try the newsgroup first, and be sure to bring any problems to
    the attention of your local news administrator so that they can be
    dealt with.
    _________________________________________________________________

    The Mailing List

    All postings to rec.pets.ferrets are also distributed to the mailing
    list rec-pets-ferrets@robomod.net, which is available in both regular
    and digest format. For subscription information, send email to

    newsgroup, so subscribers can use whichever of the newsgroup, list, or
    digest formats is most comfortable.

    Introduction

    The rec.pets.ferrets newsgroup was created in October 1995. The group
    originally had a panel of moderators who oversaw all postings. In June
    of 2000 the moderation server experienced an extended outage and the
    group never recovered.

    In April 2002 moderation of the group was passed to Brian Edmonds. The
    team consisting of Brian Edmonds and Pam Greene are running the group
    and a companion, gated mailing list with the assistance of Brian's
    robomoderation software.

    Since its creation a number of control messages have been sent which
    at some sites appear to have erroneously changed the status of the
    group to unmoderated. If this is the case at your site, you should
    bring it to the attention of your news admin, as any postings you make
    to a moderated group which is not properly recognized as such at your
    site will be silently discarded at any site where the group is
    correctly carried as moderated.
    _________________________________________________________________

    Charter

    The group is for discussion of domestic ferrets (Mustela putorius
    furo). Examples of appropriate topics include, but are not limited to,
    ferret care, behavior, history, and legal status, as well as fictional
    works involving ferrets, announcements of ferret-related events or
    resources, and peripherally related discussions between members of the
    "ferret community".

    Miscellaneous Policies

    The moderation software may (now or possibly in the future) enforce
    the following policies:

    * Postings must be in plain text. In particular no HTML or mixed
    text and HTML posts will be allowed. Excessive quoting and large
    sigs are also not allowed. Any post with more than 70% quoted
    material or a sig in excess of 512 bytes will be rejected.
    * Postings must be formatted within 80 characters in width (limiting
    your lines to 72 characters is recommended), and also must not
    exhibit the long/short/long/short/etc misformatting that some
    posting agents can produce when misconfigured.
    * No binary postings of any sort will be accepted. Exceptions will
    be made for cryptographic signatures and such. S/MIME signatures
    are usually far too bulky and will probably not be accepted.
    * Crossposting is not allowed to more than three newsgroups, except
    through manual intervention by the moderator. Contact the
    moderator if you feel you need to crosspost to more than two other
    groups.
    * Followups can be to no more than two groups, or to poster.
    * Mail address blacklisting and whitelisting may be implemented as
    deemed necessary. In addition a number of anti-spam filters are in
    place, and will be expanded as needed.

    All posts (with a working return address) will either be returned with
    a rejection notice, or posted to the newsgroup and mailing list. One
    exception is that rejection notices for the same error are suppressed
    for a few minutes after the first one is sent to reduce the danger of
    the robomoderator being used as a mailbombing agent.

    Posting with a non-replyable address is strongly discouraged. If you
    feel you must post with such an address, please make sure you are not
    using one in a valid mail domain; appending .invalid to the address is
    the recommended way to ensure this.

    Robomoderation

    The robomoderation software (robomod) enforces various anti-spam and
    text formatting requirements. Note that in order to receive rejection
    notices or other information from robomod it must have a valid email
    address for you. More information on the registration process,
    including how to use munged addreses, can be found at
    * http://www.robomod.net/register.html
    * post to the newsgroup or mailing list with the following text in
    the subject (without the quotes): "send file: register.txt"

    Submissions from non-registered addresses will be held for human
    moderation. The moderators may at their discretion register addresses
    for auto-approval, or revert them to hand moderated status.
    _________________________________________________________________

    How To Submit a Post

    At a correctly configured site you should simply be able to post to
    rec.pets.ferrets and everything will be managed for you behind the
    scenes. If you find this does not work for you, you can submit
    directly to the submission agent by mailing your posting to
    rec-pets-ferrets@robomod.net.

    Please try the newsgroup first, and be sure to bring any problems to
    the attention of your local news administrator so that they can be
    dealt with.
    _________________________________________________________________

    All postings to rec.pets.ferrets are also distributed to the mailing
    list rec-pets-ferrets@robomod.net, which is available in both regular

    Since its creation a number of control messages have been sent which
    at some sites appear to have erroneously changed the status of the
    group to unmoderated. If this is the case at your site, you should
    bring it to the attention of your news admin, as any postings you make
    to a moderated group which is not properly recognized as such at your
    site will be silently discarded at any site where the group is
    correctly carried as moderated.
    _________________________________________________________________

    Charter

    The group is for discussion of domestic ferrets (Mustela putorius
    furo). Examples of appropriate topics include, but are not limited to,
    ferret care, behavior, history, and legal status, as well as fictional
    works involving ferrets, announcements of ferret-related events or
    resources, and peripherally related discussions between members of the
    "ferret community".

    Miscellaneous Policies

    The moderation software may (now or possibly in the future) enforce
    the following policies:

    * Postings must be in plain text. In particular no HTML or mixed
    text and HTML posts will be allowed. Excessive quoting and large
    sigs are also not allowed. Any post with more than 70% quoted
    material or a sig in excess of 512 bytes will be rejected.
    * Postings must be formatted within 80 characters in width (limiting
    your lines to 72 characters is recommended), and also must not
    exhibit the long/short/long/short/etc misformatting that some
    posting agents can produce when misconfigured.
    * No binary postings of any sort will be accepted. Exceptions will
    be made for cryptographic signatures and such. S/MIME signatures
    are usually far too bulky and will probably not be accepted.
    * Crossposting is not allowed to more than three newsgroups, except
    through manual intervention by the moderator. Contact the
    moderator if you feel you need to crosspost to more than two other
    groups.
    * Followups can be to no more than two groups, or to poster.
    * Mail address blacklisting and whitelisting may be implemented as
    deemed necessary. In addition a number of anti-spam filters are in
    place, and will be expanded as needed.

    All posts (with a working return address) will either be returned with
    a rejection notice, or posted to the newsgroup and mailing list. One
    exception is that rejection notices for the same error are suppressed
    for a few minutes after the first one is sent to reduce the danger of
    the robomoderator being used as a mailbombing agent.

    Posting with a non-replyable address is strongly discouraged. If you
    feel you must post with such an address, please make sure you are not
    using one in a valid mail domain; appending .invalid to the address is
    the recommended way to ensure this.

    Robomoderation

    The robomoderation software (robomod) enforces various anti-spam and
    text formatting requirements. Note that in order to receive rejection
    notices or other information from robomod it must have a valid email
    address for you. More information on the registration process,
    including how to use munged addreses, can be found at
    * http://www.robomod.net/register.html
    * post to the newsgroup or mailing list with the following text in
    the subject (without the quotes): "send file: register.txt"

    Submissions from non-registered addresses will be held for human
    moderation. The moderators may at their discretion register addresses
    for auto-approval, or revert them to hand moderated status.
    _________________________________________________________________

    How To Submit a Post

    At a correctly configured site you should simply be able to post to
    rec.pets.ferrets and everything will be managed for you behind the
    scenes. If you find this does not work for you, you can submit
    directly to the submission agent by mailing your posting to
    rec-pets-ferrets@robomod.net.

    Please try the newsgroup first, and be sure to bring any problems to
    the attention of your local news administrator so that they can be
    dealt with.
    _________________________________________________________________

    All postings to rec.pets.ferrets are also distributed to the mailing
    list rec-pets-ferrets@robomod.net, which is available in both regular

    Introduction

    The rec.pets.ferrets newsgroup was created in October 1995. The group

    of 2000 the moderation server experienced an extended outage and the
    group never recovered.

    In April 2002 moderation of the group was passed to Brian Edmonds. The
    team consisting of Brian Edmonds and Pam Greene are running the group
    and a companion, gated mailing list with the assistance of Brian's
    robomoderation software.
