<h2><a name="MailingLists"></a>Mailing Lists</h2>
-Still need to write this.
+<p>Using a keyword address is a good way to receive mailing list mail.
+ Essentially, this issues out a key to your inbox to anyone who sends mail to
+ the list. Keyword addresses are risky (in the sense that they open you up to
+ being spammed) but it is the simplest way to make sure TMDA accepts mail from
+ everyone on the list, since you can't anticipate the e-mail addresses of
+ other subscribers.</p>
+
+<p>Keyword addresses contain a short piece of text that will help you remember
+ why you generated the key in the first place. So if you are signing up to a
+ mailing list for quilters (see the <a href="t_faq.html#Automated">FAQ</a>),
+ you might choose a keyword of "quilters".</p>
+
+<p>If a spammer "harvests" your keyword address from the quilters mailing list,
+ then their spam will have the key it needs to make it into your inbox.
+ To stop them from spamming you, you'll have to revoke the quilters key by
+ adding the keyword address (not just the keyword itself) to your "revoked"
+ list. This essentially "changes the lock" so the old keyword won't work.
+ You can sign up for the quilters mailing list again with a new key, but you
+ are still at risk of having your keyword address harvested again.</p>
+
+<p>I've found that some lists get harvested regularly while other lists do not
+ get harvested at all. If you find yourself making keywords of "quilters",
+ "quilters2", "quilters3", etc.; then you should probably give up on the list.
+ Perhaps there is another quilters mailing list without such active spammers
+ trolling the archives?</p>
+
+<p><b><i>Note:</i></b> I recommend that you unsubscribe from any lists you
+ subscribed to before installing TMDA on your account. Then re-subscribe with
+ a keyword address, as explained below.</p>
+
+<p>How you get the keyword address to the list depends on how the list is set
+ up.</p>
+
+<h3><a name="Webpage"></a>Subscribing via a webpage</h3>
+
+<p>More and more often, mailing list signups are being done with webpage forms.
+ You enter your e-mail address into an input box on a webpage, the mailing
+ list sends you a confirmation e-mail, you then reply to the list's
+ confirmation to verify that you want to be on the list.</p>
+
+<p>Instead of typing in your regular, filtered e-mail address (let's say your
+ address is <tt>[email protected]</tt> and you're signing up for a mailing
+ list run by <tt>quiltingfanatic.com</tt>), log into tmda-cgi and click on the
+ "Addresses" menu. Enter in "quilters" into the first input box (labelled
+ "Keyword") and click "Generate". tmda-cgi will generate a new keyword address
+ (it will be something like
+ <tt>[email protected]</tt>) and place it in the
+ second input box (labelled "Use address").</p>
+
+<p>By default, keyword addresses will be accepted by TMDA, so you should not
+ need to copy this address to any of your lists.</p>
+
+<p>Using your mouse, select the <b><i>entire</i></b> keyword address. Hit
+ control-C to copy the address, then return to the mailing list's signup page
+ and paste (control-V) the address into the form. Your confirmation e-mail
+ will be sent to the keyword address, so if you have done everything
+ correctly, you should receive the confirmation message into your inbox
+ without having to use tmda-cgi to release it.</p>
+
+<p><b><i>Note:</i></b> Some mailing lists only allow subscribed users to post
+ to the list. Although you are a subscribed user, it will appear that your
+ posts are coming from a different e-mail address than the one you used to
+ subscribe (<tt>[email protected]</tt> instead of
+ <tt>[email protected]</tt>). If your posts do not
+ go through or you receive an e-mail about "only subscribed users are
+ permitted to post", then you will need to add the following line to your
+ outgoing filter:</p>
+
+<blockquote><code>to *@quiltingfanatic.com keyword=quilters</code></blockquote>
+
+<p>This tells TMDA to use the keyword address "quilters" whenever you send mail
+ at an address at <tt>quiltingfanatic.com</tt>.</p>
+
+<h3><a name="email"></a>Subscribing via e-mail</h3>
+
+<p>Some mailing lists still handle subscribing and unsubscribing by e-mail.
+ They either expect you to send a blank e-mail to a special "subscribe"
+ address or send an e-mail to a configuration address and put "SUBSCRIBE" in
+ either your e-mail's subject or the beginning of the body. The mailing list
+ manager then captures your e-mail address from the message, possibly sends
+ you a confirmation message to which you'll have to reply, and then adds to
+ the list.</p>
+
+<p>Do <b><i>not</i></b> do this just yet! If you do, you will be subscribing
+ with your filtered e-mail address.</p>
+
+<p>Instead, log into tmda-cgi and click on "Filters" and then "Outgoing
+ Filter". If you are subscribing to a list at <tt>quiltingfanatic.com</tt> and
+ wish to use a keyword of "quilters" (see the <a href="#Webpage">previous</a>
+ example), then add the following to your filter:</p>
+
+<blockquote><code>to *@quiltingfanatic.com keyword=quilters</code></blockquote>
+
+<p>Save your filter, and <b><i>then</i></b> send off your subscription e-mail.
+ The new filter instruction will make sure that your subscription request (and
+ any posts you make) all come from a keyword address. The mailing list manager
+ will then capture <b><i>this</i></b> address and use it instead of your
+ regular, filtered address.</p>
