                          Dear all,<br>
                          <br>
                          Recently the Gromacs mailing lists have been
                          used for sending spam and<br>
                          viruses, and thus now only plain text messages
                          are accepted.<br>
                          <br>
                          If you have received rejected mails saying
                          "The message's content type was not<br>
                          explicitly allowed" it means that you have
                          used in your mail special styles or<br>
                          formatting (e.g. bold typeface, colors etc.).<br>
                          <br>
                          Check your email client settings about how to
                          send messages as plain text,<br>
                          e.g. in GMail make sure to click on "Compose
                          -&gt; Plain Text". Check also<br>
                          whether a formatted signature is added.<br>
                          <br>
                          Attachments are also not allowed but you could
                          include links for downloads.<br>

                        Bump.<br>
                        <br>
                        I'm happy banning attachments (there's lots of
                        free upload space out there), but<br>
                        think that explicitly requiring plain text email
                        is a significant barrier to<br>
                        participation. Some web mail clients don't
                        permit a non-HTML mime type - that's<br>
                        not our fault but we have to live in that
                        jungle. Some people will walk away<br>
                        without bothering to find out if they can
                        configure plain text email. Others<br>
                        will judge the technical competence of the team
                        on their ability to run the<br>
                        mailing list. If we need to outsource it
                        somewhere, we should do that.<br>

                      I agree with Mark here. &nbsp;It seems to me that
                      traffic to the list has been down for a couple of
                      weeks relative to normal, but there may be other
                      factors for that. &nbsp;What I do know is that I'm
                      getting increasing amounts of emails to my
                      personal inbox starting with "I can't post to the
                      Gromacs list, so I'm sending this to you..."
                      That's an increased burden I'm not willing to
                      bear. &nbsp;I'm all for community contributions (you
                      all know that ;) but as soon as it becomes my
                      responsibility to handle Gromacs issues, I'm less
                      inclined.<br>

                I think everyone agrees that we need to accept html
                mails.<br>
                <br>
                The question is if we need some filter and when Rossen,
                or someone else, has time to fix this.<br>
