Maybe it's just me, but I don't particularly like correspondence that
isn't specifically mine or directed specifically at me in my email.
I'm not sure I can express my point in any particularly clear way,
but maybe it will come anyway. My obsessive-compulsive disorder must
be showing its ugly head.
I prefer to reserve my email for issues that directly pertain to me
and that need urgent attention. Anything else I more or less consider
spam to be deleted. Web based forums seem ideal (at least to me) for
multiple conversations that I may choose to participate in or simply
browse.
I know we can search the email discussions via nuclearelephant's
search and threaded archive, but it seems like it would be much
simpler and less intrusive if it were web-based.
Majordomo mailing lists just seem arcane given this was the preferred
mode of discussion we used for PGP in 1993.
By "authorized" I wondered if we were to get something up and running
could we get a link on nuclear elephant... I just don't want to set
up a forum that no one will use or see.

I absolutely love DSPAM. It is truly an awesome project.
However, it's
clear that due to the vast amount of configurations and distributions
out there, it's no simple task to set up unless you've got a dead-on
basic setup. Once you start throwing in other transports and such,
things get complicated.
Hence, this user group. It's quite handy when you need
assistance. But
it doesn't lend so easily to searching archives. Also, I'd like
to be
able to take a break from it for a few weeks without having to
unsubscribe.
I'd like to see this message list moved to a web based forum.
Searching, threaded, better suited for longer detailed discussions
than
my mailbox. And we could have a whole section discussing custom
setups
and more esoteric configurations.
Because we cannot do that now?
Given the amount of traffic the email list sees, I could probably
host
the forum myself, however there may be someone out there already
better
suited to implement this.
Is there interest in moving this out of email and onto the web? What
are the chances this could be an "authorized" forum for DSPAM
discussions?
-1.
What do you mean by authorized?
Why one or the other? Why force a choice?
Haven't we had enough of forced choices already?
How about archive on gmane? Wouldn't that suite all needs?
