Filtering
We recognise that these days, everyone needs to filter their mail - but please do not filter all mail from theĀ London Internet Exchange (LINX) - Uniting Networks. Igniting the Internet.Ā domain as if it is the same, this defeats the point of having separate mailing lists. Each list has a distinct purpose, and a distinct 'List-Id' header, as described below. We have seen too many instances of members missing significant announcements, so please take this guidance point seriously.
We guarantee that we'll maintain these 'List-Id' headers, unless we give notice via a general announcement of our intention to change them, so they are the safe and sensible things to use for filtering your mail.
If you would like guidance on filtering mail from LINX, please raise a support ticket ([email protected]).
Mandatory lists
LINX members must maintain at least one subscription to each mandatory mailing list (it is an MoU requirement) and this is monitored automatically.
[email protected]
(List-Id header = [email protected])
This list is used for discussion amongst members on any topic, and for announcements from staff to members mainly (but not exclusively) on non-operational topics. All new members are announced on this list, for example.
List traffic is not large.
A closed list, no exploders permitted.
Posting by list members only.
Any attempts to post outside the permitted policy comes for moderation to the list owner (LINX CEO).
[email protected]
(List-Id headers = [email protected])
The [email protected] list is only used for formal announcements of changes to the LINX MoU resulting from member votes at general meetings. This is fairly rare (typically less then four times per annum).
These are both closed lists, no exploders permitted.
Posting by LINX staff only.
