d) Create seperate mailing lists for the different trackers.
Very good idea.
In the meantime, I suggest that you may want to investigate how
to create filtering rules within your email client (or mail
transport agent) to put messages that match the expression
[ aolserver-.*-[0-9]* ] in the Subject: header into a seperate
mail folder, so you won't be bothered by them (and can check them
when you feel like it).
Or, even better, filter on Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] in combination, which uniquely
identifies the email item as machine generated at SourceForge for the
AOLserver project. This means that you can dump the actual log
entries from SourceForge into a seldom viewed folder, but followup
discussion on the mailing list, triggered by the SourceForge posting,
will not be filtered away.
[On a related note, there's a popular misconception that it's only the
Subject: header that can be used for filtering. Thus, you have lots
of mailing lists that uselessly add the name of the list to the front
of the subject, cluttering up the mail reader user interface with
unneeded meta-information. Anything and everything can filter mail
these days (and if your email user agent or storage system can't, then
you can slip in something in front of them, like procmail), and they
can all filter on any header fields, not just the subject. Of course,
the information about what list the item came from is available in
other header fields, so the Subject: mungeing is superfluous.]
