Group Rules ? (Just simple 'Netiquette Rules - and No Attachments Allowed)
The PDA Mobile Cafe Mailing List website group is a mailing list function through our Website Features available here to webmasters at OurInternet.US. All messages are scanned by internal Anti-Virus Protection and SPF Technology (also Spam Assassin - but this is a Moderated List, will not apply as Moderators reject spam and attachments).
There are several Mailing List functions and our Website Group includes Archives available to Members Only in digest form - one hundred at a time maximum. Although choosing group mail in the digest form is not recommended (unless group posts traffic increases dramatically), it is available and very convenient for new members to "catch up with the conversation" and even add some help information to previous posts. The Digest of messages is by a simple email command that you can post to get 'Messages 1 through 100" then 'Messages 101 through 200' and so on.
If you are a new joining member, simply post a message the Owner address to get the current message count for what messages you wish to retrieve:
postmaster@pdamobilecafe@bluecollarpc.net
Question: I only have a 250 entry address book, what if there are more members than that ?
Answer: There is only one address for posting and receiving to and from the group necessary for your Address Book :::>
pdamobilecafe@pdamobilecafe.bluecollarpc.net
This is a full featured Mailing List which automatically inserts our mailing list "tag" which is simply - "[pdamobilecafe]".
The group name tag insert precedes in every message subject line before the message subject by the member sender, which is distributed to all members. Joining our List, it is okay to simply post a message to the group with "test post" as subject. When you receive your post back, you can then review message headers and copy them for later comparison of any "suspect email" - however we have added the SPF spoofing technology so that this is very unlikely. Group posts show any member as 'Sender' and the webgroup address as the 'To:' address in all posts.
MEMBERS SPECIAL NOTE: If members wish to contact each other off-group be sure to ask for permission first at the group to establish contact permission, otherwise you will most likely be reported for Unsolicited Email. All Members are only agreeing to messages from "pdamobilecafe@pdamobilecafe.bluecollarpc.net " - not any other email address. Being a member does not establish contact permission with each individual member, but only with the Mailing List address. If any member sends email outside of the group to any Member - it is Unsolicted Email that may be reported to their ISP Abuse teams / Customer Care for appropriate action per report. The general universal ISP Terms of Service result in a first warning and then 6 months or permanent suspension or barring of ISP services and/or a fine - Don't do it !
Some List Features enabled:
*Guard archive (message digests). Archive access requests from unrecognized SENDERs will be rejected.
*Subscription requires confirmation by reply to a message sent to the subscription address.
*Unsubscribe requires confirmation by a reply to a message sent to the subscription address.
*Message and new member moderation. For moderated lists, all posts and membership requests are forwarded to moderators for approval.
*The subscriber list cannot be obtained.
SPF ADDED TO ALL DOMAINS - The SPF technology has been added to our Web Group mailing list (and all domain addresses). Details:
Sender Policy Framework (SPF, http://spf.pobox.com) is a mechanism for preventing sender forgery in SMTP transaction, thus allowing domain owners control over who may send mail from their domain.
If SPF mechanism results in a hit, its prefix value is used. The default prefix value is 'pass" - "Softail" used in our group.
fail: the mail is a forgery, and you can reject it with confidence.
softfail: the message could be a forgery.
pass: the mail is not forged, but that doesn't mean it's legitimate.
neutral: The domain owner has explicitly stated that doesn't know whether the IP is authorized or not.

Digests: .....examples (for numbers in address command, substitute 1_10 for messages 1 through 10 and so on)
NOTE: Our List digest feature does allow receiving up to 100 posts in a single digest email message. However, it is recommended that you only request about 10 at a time. The size of a
100 message digest may trigger false positives with anti-virus protection with something like
"Malformed container violation" - or a simple error message stating it was too large.
{NOTE: Address contains dot ( . ) after 'get'....
pdamobilecafe-get.1_10 @pdamobilecafe.bluecollarpc.net )
Examples:
To get messages 123 through 145 (a maximum of 100 per request), mail:
<pdamobilecafe-get.123_145@pdamobilecafe.bluecollarpc.net>
To get an index with subject and author for messages 123-456, mail:
<pdamobilecafe-index.123_456@pdamobilecafe.bluecollarpc.net>
To receive all messages with the same subject as message 12345, send an empty message to:
<pdamobilecafe-thread.12345@pdamobilecafe.bluecollarpc.net>
Bouncing Members Inboxes:
A "bouncing" email is a returned email to sender generally for two reasons. One the address no longer exists (account deleted or discontinued) or more common - a full inbox temporarily. The following message is sent out automatically by our List service: (brief):
"Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the
pdamobilecafe@pdamobilecafe.bluecollarpc.net mailing list.
I'm working for my owner, who can be reached
at pdamobilecafe-owner@bluecollarpc.net.
Messages to you from the webgroup mailing list seem to
have been bouncing. I've attached a copy of the first bounce
message I received.
If this message bounces too, I will send you a probe. If the probe bounces,
I will remove your address from the webgroup mailing list,
without further notice.
I've kept a list of which messages from the webgroup mailing list have
bounced from your address.
Copies of these messages may be in the archive.
To retrieve a set of messages...."
NOTE: .....Our Web Group Mailing List is for Members Only and is moderated against Spam/UCE with Anti-Virus Protection. Since Memberships and Posts are moderated, there will be no Spam received at Member inboxes. If you are a spammer - there is no way in... don't waste my time and yours!
As List Owner I have several years of experience at popular Yahoo Groups and Smart Groups and also at Google Groups as a Group Owner and Creator. You can read about the history of the PDA Mobile Cafe previou7s groups on the home page (front page) and as webmaster I have moved to the Website Mailing List or "Web Group" as personal choice over the other commercial free groups (no ads). There is obviously much more space at a website for displaying topical content and no commercialism involved. It is a Private Mailing List Group - as I have termed it, "Web Group" short for Website Mailing List Group.
NOTE: Members Only 
.... Any posts or commands to our List by non-members are automatically rejected by the List Service with the exception of FAQ and Info commands for visitors and members.
