ughh.... here we go again :(
The Oracle vacation autoresponder doesn't do that to other mailman lists
I'm on - for instance, you never see them on opensolaris.org mailing lists
which are full of people using the Oracle e-mail system.
The difference I see in the headers there is "Reply-To", which we know the
Oracle autoresponder uses since one of the internal workarounds to avoid
those messages is to set Reply-To to a address that sends them to /dev/null.
SunRay-Users sets it, but the other lists I'm on without this problem don't
set it.
hi Alan,
when the list was created back in 2004 it was not very popular and there
was a need to generate interest and to drive as much posts as possible
to the list so more people would find it interesting and participate.
this was the simple reason the list was configured the way it is. one of
the decisions was to configure mailman to insert a specific "Reply-To"
header in all messages. the drawback was that this made the private
replies much more difficult but the decision was inline with the goal -
post everything to the list and not on private replies.
i see no problem in changing this configuration now (this does not make
me like Oracle's autoresponder either).
if anyone else on the list has any comment about this - please post your
opinion here. i will wait for a short time and proceed with the change
that will reconfigure mailman to not insert a specific "Reply-To" header
in the messages.
greetings,
Stoyan
