If members could ask to NOT receive certain topics, they then could ask for "not OffTopic", but I don't think you can do that. I think the best one can do is subscribe to all topics of interest and maybe also choose to receive messages that don't match any topic.
The problem is that any time a new topic is added, each member who has done the above will then have to explicitly subscribe to the new topic to get those messages.
I've got it figured out to have a way for OT: or YAK: to be filtered on a list that doesn't have any other topics. I set up 2 topics. The first one filters a simple space.
\ \|
The above topic is set to checked
The second one filters OT/YAK ot:| yak:| xidtdesdlmiezls
The above topic is set to unchecked
Then the option for; "Do you want to receive messages that do not match any topic filter?" Is set to "NO"
What happens with the above setup is that everything is sent except OT: or YAK:
Now, my biggest question is:
How can I set mailman to have the above settings set by DEFAULT for each user that is subscribing to the list? I found nothing in mm_cfg.py. I also looked around a bit, but did not find anything that I could modify for a default setting. If I can set these defaults, then my mail list subscribers will have little to do to set their topic filters.
Thanks in advance!
