The Systers have a feature called "dynamic sublists" which
automatically creates subscribable threads, with more user control
than topics provide.

OK, I guess you probably don't need them, then, but maybe somebody
else.  (No, I never got around to pulling it; the Systers fork has
quite a bit organization-specific cruft in it that doesn't belong in
Mailman.  If there's interest )

[Mailman-Users] Topic hack to streamline use of topics.

2020-10-15 Thread Grant Taylor via Mailman-Users

While on the topic of topics ... ;-)

I implemented a hack in my LDA to search the body of messages for 
specific keywords.  When one (or more) of the keywords is found, it adds 
a specific value to the Topics: header.


This way, posters don't have to worry about defining the topics before 
they hit send.  It also allows me to be more granular and flexible at 
the same time.  I can create an "email" topic that will match on 
Mailman, Sendmail, Microsoft Exchange, GroupWise, etc.  (Sure, there's a 
little wiggle room in the pattern matching and logic.)


This has largely worked out very well for the lists that I've applied it to.
