I have been subscribed to the groups here for a while, and I am somewhat
versed in pulling rss feeds and atom feeds and storing them in a database.
What I am wondering is, is there a feed for these mailing lists (as
opposed to downloading them via e-mail and filtering them into folders).
Long explanation short, are the Zend Framework Mailing Lists available via
RSS feed? (download only, not posting that is).
Thanks

Oh and just to clarify (laugh), I realize that I could register a mail
account specifically to receive the groups and have PHP/Zend Framework
handle the incoming messages. I am more-so looking for a feed (pull) as
opposed to a mail (push) type scenario.
Are you familiar with the concept of News Groups? (NNTP).
This technology dates back a good few years and is arguably where
mailing lists originated.
Well, I personally use GMane which is a Mailing list to News Group
gateway service. It's totally free and allows your pull based approach
with the added advantage that it allows posting too!
Most mail clients (e.g. Thunderbird, Outlook etc.) allow you to
configure a Newsgroup account (it's really very similar in concept to
IMAP), and failing that there are several very nice standalone newsgroup
apps.
As I participate in quite a few open source projects, I use Gmane
whenever I can to save subscribing to yet another mailing list.
It's almost certainly *exactly* what you want functionality wise,
provided that not having it in RSS form is acceptable.

PS That's is why my email address is as listed. I used this address for
all my gmane groups... If it get's overly spammed I just have to change
it and reauthenticate myself (sometimes this does require subscribing to
various mailing lists too as the authentication system doesn't always
integrate fully, but you can turn off mail delivery on pretty much every
mailing list out there, so the registration is only to allow you to post).
