I'm trying to figure out how the topic feature works. We have an expression in the regexp box (ie Foo[1]) and the body lines variable is set to 0 since the expression should be in the subject line. However everyone on the list is still receiving the messages sent w/ "Subject: Foo". The filter is enabled, the person who is subscribed to the topic also has "yes" on the "Do you want to receive messages that do not match any topic filter?", everyone else (who is not subscribed to the topic) has "no" for this. BTW we are using mailman 2.1.5.
At first I thought it might be a problem w/ the regexp, but reading through the archives I found http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg34182.html "Members who don't select topics continue to receive all posts. " and the wording on the end of the "Do you want to receive..." question ("If no topics of interest are selected above, then you will receive every message sent to the mailing list.") is bringing up the question of whether or not the list/membership is configured properly. Do I have to change something on the membership page of those who are NOT to receive the messages related to the topic I'm trying to configure (it's the only one btw)? If so what needs to change and is there any way to configure the topic such that only those who are interested have it configured and everyone else is left alone (it's a relatively small list but it seems very cumbersome to change everyone if a single topic is added to a large list). Any suggestions would be appreciated. If there's more info that is needed please let me know and I'll see if I can get it to you. Thanks [1] we've also tried ^foo ^*foo \*foo \*foo\* and probably a few other derivations that I can't recall off hand ;) ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
