+# On Posting
+
+[[!inline pages=asking_questions raw=yes feeds=no]]
+
+List etiquette is to cc the sender and anyone **actively** involved in the
+discussion. Some people don't like this and they set their reply-to header
+appropriately.  Respect this.
+
+It is rarely appropriate to cc multiple lists.  Sometimes it is.  In that case,
+do so.  If in doubt, don't; just choose the single most appropriate list.
+
+When replying to others, please don't top-post and trim the existing text to
+quote only the sections you're actually replying to.  See [[!wikipedia
+Posting_style]] for further reading, especially [[!wikipedia
+Posting_style#Inline_replying]].
+
+Also see these general notes about [[community/communication]].

+
+# Main Lists
+
+The lists are [[unmoderated]] and most of them are hosted on
+<http://lists.gnu.org/>.  Try to post to the appropriate mailing list.
+
+Some of the Hurd user groups listed on [[community]] also host additional
+mailing lists.

+# Spam
+
+GNU mailing lists used to have no spam filtering applied -- everyone was
+allowed to post, the lists were completely unmoderated.  This resulted in
+getting the lists spammed very much, as you can see in the web archives.  If
+you're interested in getting hold of (mostly) spam-free mboxes, then talk to
+[[Thomas_Schwinge|tschwinge]].  Also [[read_about|unmoderated]] the
+spam-rejection techniques being used today.
