Why can't I post a message to OAUG List Servers?
January 07, 2004

In order to be accepted by OAUG list servers, your email must be sent in clear text format. This is to prevent the proliferation of harmful attachments or malicious code from being posted to the list servers. If you receive a posting or subscription failed message that mentions "Multi-Part/MIME," then this indicates your email was not sent in clear text.

Please try your message using clear text, or contact our listmaster for more assistance.

January 07, 2004

Please use "list" for the user name and "archives" for the password. This security measure has been put in place to prevent spam bots from harvesting all of the email addresses included in list server postings.

Why doesn't my search work?
January 07, 2004

Please review the following possible solutions:

  • We use port 8080 to conduct searches of the OAUG web site. While this is an approved alternate port for HTML traffic (please visit the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority web site for details), some firewalls have been configured to block this port, thereby preventing a successful search. Please ask your network administrator if this port has been blocked.
  • If your search results contain list server archive elements, you must enter the login "list" and password "archives" to view these search results. This safeguard has been implemented against the list server archives to prevent spam bots from harvesting email addresses from archived list server postings.

If neither of these solutions are appropriate to your particular issue, please contact us via email, or by telephone at +1 (404) 240-0897.
