No, it's something else, which is complementary to what you are
already doing:
1) Unsubscribed user posts to list
2) procmail recognizes that message as coming from unsubscribed user,
and memorizes subject and original unsubscribed sender
3) EVERYBODY STOPS THIS CRAP OF REPOSTING EVERYTHING TO EVERYBODY AND
HIS THIRD COUSIN, BECAUSE:
4) if they have nothing to add, they just sit down, no posting
anywhere
5) if they have something to say, ONLY REPLY TO LIST AS IT SHOULD BE,
SINCE:
6) the same procmail at 2) will recognize when THE LIST receives an
answer to "thread-started-by-unsubscribed-guy" and
7) the same procmail will send to $UNSUBSCRIBED-GUY only a notification
that somebody answered, please check the archives to read it.
8) even better: procmail can automatically forward an extra copy of
that answer:
ONLY TO $UNSUBSCRIBED-GUY
WITH Reply address set to [email protected]
ONLY for the first N replies if that makes you feel
better
Practically speaking, all this would be accomplished by setting up one
extra procmail recipe, just once, only on one (yours) computer, without
wasting one second with collabnet. Period.
Now please somebody explain me what are the concrete, technical
obstacles to this.
Thanks,
Marco
