As long as this persists, the original poster will be able to read his thread, even if he bounces all the list's email to /dev/null (many mailing list softwares even have a suspended mode where you can post, but don't get the email). I can think of a lot of people who don't subscribe to a mailing list because they don't want to receive the tons of emails. Some of these would not even consider setting up a filter to drop all the mails (and actually I cannnot see any good way to explain them why to subscribe to a list if then you throw it away). Furhtermore these people usualy don't have a /dev/null on their computer. On the Perl mailing list I maintain pressing a Reply would send the reply to the list as I think this is the way go so there the current state-of-affairs does not permit this work-arond. I was thinking of patching the maillist program I use to support the mode I suggested but I am not sure if that is interesting at all. In any case that would give me a good opportunity to learn Python as I am using mailman. -- Gabor Szabo Perl User Group in Israelhttp://www.perl.org.il/ -- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://linuxclub.il.eu.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Haifux] Administrative notice
Well, for insta-parties (and known) issues, we can open this list (or a new one, which will redirect questions and comments to this list) to the general public, for a limited (published?) period of time, before the insta-party begins (for instance), and until a period of time after it ends.

Re: [Haifux] Administrative notice
It has. however, I could not find a mechanism that will allow this after the list has been established. currently the change is in the qmail level (using ezmlm commands). I'm planning on studying ezmlm behaviour more throughly during the following weeks, so I can make this.

In majordomo, non-subscribers' postings get sent to the moderator which can approve them if they are not spam. I don't know of ezmlm has this capability, but I'd be surprised if it doesn't. -- Orr Dunkelman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Computers make it easy to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do, don't need to be done.--Andy Rooney Spammers: http://vipe.technion.ac.il/~orrd/spam.html -- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://linuxclub.il.eu.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Haifux] Administrative notice
Is there a way to partially subscribe to a list meaning: I can post but I only get responses to my own post not other posts ? (whatever that might be: based on thread or subject line or ?) Is there any mailing list that supports this mode ? -- Gabor ps. do you read linux-il or shall I announce the Perl meetings here as well ? -- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://linuxclub.il.eu.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(whatever that might be: based on thread or subject line or ?) i doubt such a feature exists, for several reasons: 1. when people reply to a post, they don't always keep the same subject. thus, relying on it would constitute a broken design. 2. it takes more resources from the mailing list server, to keep the lists of all(!) postings in order to do that appropriately - requireing it to keep a database of sender + subject (not only the original post - each post, including those replying to an older reply, should be accounted for). for very large mailing lists, this is extra overhead. ps. do you read linux-il or shall I announce the Perl meetings here as well ? who exactly did you refer _this_ question to? orr? a virtual 'joe average' reader? or are you asking if this is appropriate? i think its _somewhat_ appropriate, thought i think it won't win you any new participants, since you do all those meetings in tel-aviv, while we'll are mostly in haifa. however, i guess that unless anyone raises an objection to such posts (i can think of some, which are marginal) - go ahead and try. note that this is just _my_ opinion - the list as a group never manages to get to a single unified opinion ;) -- guy For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator. -- nob o. dy -- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://linuxclub.il.eu.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
