1.9 Your emails are public
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Your email, its contents and all its headers and the details in those
|
||||||
|
headers will be received by every subscriber of the mailing list that you
|
||||||
|
send your email to.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Your email as sent to a curl mailing list will end up in mail archives, on
|
||||||
|
the curl web site and elsewhere, for others to see and read. Today and in
|
||||||
|
the future. In addition to the archives, the mail is sent out to thousands
|
||||||
|
of individuals. There is no way to undo a sent email.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When sending emails to a curl mailing list, do not include sensitive
|
||||||
|
information such as user names and passwords; use fake ones, temporary ones
|
||||||
|
or just remove them completely from the mail. Note that this includes base64
|
||||||
|
encoded HTTP Basic auth headers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This public nature of the curl mailing lists makes automaticly inserted mail
|
||||||
|
footers about mails being "private" or "only meant for the receipient" or
|
||||||
|
similar even more silly than usual. Because they are absolutely not private
|
||||||
|
when sent to a public mailing list.
