The Signal provides Southern Maine and surrounding areas, with information
about local dining, music, events and people. We hope to inform both Mainers
and vacationers about the people and places that are Maine. If you would like
to see a particular feature in our magazine let us know! By the way, we hope The Signal
permanently remains on your shelves, but if you do discard us, please recycle.
Save a tree, save a life! Also, look for our EcoMag™ online. Many thanks to our
wonderful staff and all those that make The Signal a reality.

Email Use Policy

Below you will find LVC United’s standard policies for accepting incoming email. If you have any further questions or comments, please forward them to: contact@southernmainesignal.com

Technical Standards for Server Connections

LVC United’s mail servers will not accept connections from unsecured systems. These include open relays, open proxies, open routers, or any other system that has been determined to be available for unauthorized use.
LVC United’s mail servers will not accept connections from systems that use dynamically assigned or residential IP addresses.
LVC United’s mail servers will not accept connections from systems that have been identified (“blacklisted”) as known or suspected spammers.
LVC United’s mail servers may reject connections from any IP address that does not have reverse DNS (PTR) record.
Complaints submitted by LVC United’s employees may be used as a basis for refusing connections from any mail server.

Technical Standards for E-mail Delivery

LVC United does not authorize the use of its proprietary computers and computer network to accept, transmit, or distribute unsolicited bulk e-mail sent from the Internet to LVC United members.
LVC United will not deliver email larger than 10 megabytes. This includes the message text, headers, and file attachments combined.
LVC United will not deliver email that contains file attachment types commonly used to carry viruses (“banned” file types). These include (but are not limited to):
.EXE | .VBS | .PIF | .SCR | .CMD | .CPL
(Changing the file name will not affect our ability to filter out these files.)
LVC United will not deliver email that contains ZIP, TAR, GZIP or any other archived or compressed files which themselves contain banned file attachment types (see above).
LVC United will not deliver email that contains viruses, either within messages or file attachments.
LVC United may not deliver email that contains file attachment types deemed inappropriate for business use.
Each incoming email is reviewed for content. LVC United may not deliver email that contains inappropriate, non-business-related, or malicious content. Significant ongoing efforts are made to filter out and stop delivery of unsolicited commercial or bulk email (“spam”).
Note: Any email not delivered due to violation of the above policies will not result in any notification, either to sender or receiver.

LVC United Unsolicited Bulk E-mail Policy

LVC United does not authorize the use of its proprietary computers and computer network to accept, transmit or distribute unsolicited bulk e-mail sent from the Internet to LVC United employees. In addition, Internet e-mail sent, or caused to be sent, to or through the LVC United network that makes use of or contains invalid or forged headers, invalid or non-existent domain names or other means of deceptive addressing will be deemed to be counterfeit. Any attempt to send or cause such counterfeit e-mail to be sent to or through the LVC United network is unauthorized. Similarly, e-mail that is relayed from any third party's mail servers without the permission of that third party, or which employs similar techniques to hide or obscure the source of the e-mail, is also an unauthorized use of the LVC United network.

LVC United reserves the right to take all legal and technical steps available to prevent unsolicited bulk e-mail or other unauthorized e-mail from entering, utilizing or remaining within the LVC United network. Nothing in this policy is intended to grant any right to transmit or send e-mail to, or through, the LVC United network. LVC United’s failure to enforce this policy in every instance in which it might have application does not amount to a waiver of LVC United’s rights.

Unauthorized use of the LVC United network in connection with the transmission of unsolicited bulk e-mail, including the transmission of counterfeit e-mail, may result in civil and criminal penalties against the sender, including those provided by the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. 1030 et seq.) and the Virginia Computer Crimes Act (Va. Code Ann. 18.2-152.2 et seq.) (amended effective July 1, 2003). Civil and criminal penalties may also apply to e-mail transmitted to the LVC United network in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003.
