The posters can just post to linux-il, I think (I am not sure).

Here's another message you'll be recieving 3 (or maybe even 4!) times :) In my opinion this "triplication" isn't a terrible thing - each of the mailing lists I subscribe to goes to a different folder, and the fact that a copy of the same message goes to each of these folders is very helpful in keeping a sensible message order when I read the folder of one mailing list. But if you really want to cut this triplication to zero, you (or actually the entire community) will need to choose one of two options: 1. Move all the discussion about *everything* to linux-il. This includes Hebrew, Haifa Linux club, and everything. 2. Have seperate lists for seperate issues: send Hebrew stuff to ivrix-discuss, Haifa-club stuff to that mailing list, and so on. This solution is sort-of working right now, though some people seem not to like it, and split the Hebrew discussions between linux-il and ivrix-discuss (or crosspost to both). Another solution to get rid of "triplication", a technological solution (instead of the "sociological" solution above), is to use a procmail filter to get rid of duplicate messages. The following solution is suggested in the 'procmailex' manual (see that manual for other variants): :0 Whc: msgid.lock | formail -D 4096 $HOME/msgid.cache :0 a: duplicates -- Nadav Har'El| Sunday, Dec 17 2000, 21 Kislev 5761 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |I want to live forever or die in the http://nadav.harel.org.il |attempt. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Triple Triplicates (was: Re: hebrew lecture)
> Any PRACTICAL ideas how to cut down this triplication? Start by NEVER sending mail to both IGLU and linux-il, IGLU is a subset of linux-il for planning activities, therefore all mail sent to linux-il is automatically read by all iglu members, no need to mail both. In addition announcments should never be sent to IGLU. Ivrix should decide whether they subset Linux-il, or they just have few common memebers that will suffer duplications. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Triple Triplicates (was: Re: hebrew lecture)
Since I am subscribed to both Linux-IL, IGLU and Ivrix mailing lists, I received the Hebrew Lecture Announcement (henceforth to be referred to as HLA (TM)) in triplicate. I also received subsequent discussion in triplicate. And I am sure that several people will receive this followup in triplicate. Any PRACTICAL ideas how to cut down this triplication? --- Omer There is no IGLU Cabal. The former IGLU members were flooded by E-mail from 37 Israeli/Hebrew Linux related mailing lists, to which the subscribers cross-posted in the ultimate possible way. Only after the IGLU Cabal was disbanded, were 34 mailing lists shut down.
