Folks,
There have been a number of you who have written to me, asking that
they be able to be on the list without getting all the email, and I'd
always wrote back with the same answer: majordomo don't do that. But
I also told everyone to keep the faith; if I could work it out, I'd
do it.
Well, I did it. Here's how it works (if you're interested in this
sort of thing. If not, skip to the part about subscribing): Since
majordomo doesn't have a nomail option, there had to be an end run.
What I did was create another list, pentax-discuss-nomail, that has
no list traffic. It isn't sent through sendmail. Basically what it is
is a list of subscribers.
Here is the brilliant part (I didn't think of this, but ran across
mention of the theory while researching something else and thought it
would work for our purposes). The PDML is a restricted list, meaning
majordomo checks to see if the address on an incoming post matches an
address in the subscriber list. If it does, it goes through. If it
doesn't, the post gets bounced. But what if you're on the digest
list? Well, it's configured to also check the addresses in the digest
subscriber file. All I had to do was add the nomail subscriber file
to the configuration, and here we go.
The part about subscribing:
Same as it ever was. Send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with
subscribe pentax-discuss-nomail
in the body of the mail. No subject line is necessary. You'll get a
confirmation number and instructions to send it back. Do so.
Please keep in mind that majordomo will not unsubscribe you from this
list or the digest list if you switch to the nomail list. You have to
do that yourself.
Another service brought to you by List Guy.
later,
Doug
