Your mailer should have a "group-reply" or "reply to all recipients" button; use that for list traffic. > (this also makes filtering mail a pain in the ass too btw). Filter on the "List-ID: <mysql.mysql.com>" header, or if you mailer cannot filter on arbitrary fields, filter on To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's not nearly as accurate at the List-ID: header though. > also after sending one message to the list, i received 3 > autoresponders from people who've gone on vacation and left their > computers to reply with a cute little message. Those autoresponders are broken; They should not reply to "Precedence: bulk" mail, and they should reply to the envelope sender, not the From: header. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] sql query blah blah --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
