Hello / hoi zämä / ciao, This is a technical announcement to inform you that the olpc-ch list posting policy has changed: Emails to olpc-ch@lists.laptop.org from non-members of the mailing list are now automatically bounced with an appropriate message (see example below).
I'm using this opportunity to let you all know that as of today there are about 80 members subscribed to the olpc-ch mailing list. Regards, Michael PS: The few (old, sorry!!) emails that you likely just received from the list were the only "real" ones out of about 450 (spam) messages in the moderation queue, so this change certainly made sense. -- Until now, such emails were held in a queue to be moderated, but as the overwhelming majority of all such posts were spam, moderating these makes really no sense; the rare real person who posts without subscribing will hopefully read and understand the message below, subscribe and re-post. This does NOT change anything for everybody already subscribed to the list, or new members who can still easily subscribe. Everything is as before, except for posts by non-members. -- _______________________ Michael Vorburger http://www.vorburger.ch ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Example of the bounce message that anybody not subscribed to the mailing list receives automatically now: Posting to the olpc-ch mailing list (olpc-ch@lists.laptop.org) is for mailing list members only. You can join the olpc-ch mailing list easily at http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-ch. When you subscribe, it would be nice if you would briefly introduce yourself via an email to the list. You will have to resend your email to the mailing list after you subscribed to it. _______________________________________________ OLPC-ch mailing list OLPC-ch@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-ch http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Switzerland
