In an effort to keep down noise, I immediately unsubscribe any user from whom I receive an out-of-office auto-reply. This policy may seem harsh, but if we don't maintain tight control of auto-replies, we will quickly be overwhelmed. If you are going to be away for a while, I recommend unsubscribing from the list (using the link at the bottom of the page) and resubscribing when you return. Or go to the link at the bottom of the page and merely suspend delivery while you are away. The mailing list manager is Mailman, which is suppose to automatically filter auto-replies. It usually works, but sometimes auto-replies slip through. If you ever find that you have stopped getting mail from the mailing list, it could be because an auto-reply came back from you and you got unsubscribed. In that case, simply resubsubscribe. I recognize that this is a sub-optimal policy, but it is the best policy for the infrastructure we currently have in place. Suggestions on better ways to run the mailing list, or on better mailing list managers, are welcomed. > > Thanks, > Shawn > _______________________________________________ > sqlite-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users > -- --------------------- D.
