<p>The Gentoo free software project has a number of public mailing lists, covering a variety of Gentoo-related
|
| 18 |
subjects. Our mailing lists are powered by a customized version of <uri link="http://ezmlm.org">ezmlm/idx</uri> that provides
|
| 19 |
<c>List-Id:</c> mail headers and <c>[listname]</c> subject prefixes to comply with modern mailing list manager standards
|
| 20 |
and conventions.</p>
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
<p>One interacts with <c>ezmlm/idx</c> via email. To subscribe to a list, send an empty email to:</p>
|
| 23 |
<p><c>listname-subscribe@gentoo.org</c></p>
|
| 24 |
<note>Replace 'listname' with the actual name of the list that you want to subscribe to</note>
|
| 25 |
<p>Once subscribed to the list, you can post to it by sending an email to:</p>
|
| 26 |
<p><c>listname@gentoo.org</c></p>
|
| 27 |
<p>To unsubscribe from a list, send an empty email to:</p>
|
| 28 |
<p><c>listname-unsubscribe@gentoo.org</c></p>
|
| 29 |
<p>All of our lists also have a corresponding digest list. Digest lists will mail a single email to you every couple of days,
|
| 30 |
rather than individual emails for each post. Send an empty email to the following addresses to subscribe and unsubscribe from
|
| 31 |
mailing lists respectively:</p>
|
| 32 |
<p><c>listname-digest-subscribe@gentoo.org</c><br/>
|
| 33 |
<c>listname-digest-unsubscribe@gentoo.org</c></p>
|
| 34 |
<p>You can learn more about the capabilities of ezmlm/idx by reading the <uri link="http://ezmlm.org/ezman-0.32/ezman1.html">Ezmlm/idx User's Manual</uri>. You can also learn more about the Gentoo mailing list system by reading the short Gentoo mailing

<p>We used to host our own mail archives, but that got pretty boring fast.
|
| 269 |
The following sites host pretty decent archives of most of the mailing lists,
|
| 270 |
so please utilize them rather than asking for 'official' Gentoo mailing list
|
| 271 |
archives. These are the 'official' ones :).<br/>

<title>Mailing List Mini-FAQ</title>
|
| 280 |
<section>
|
| 281 |
<title>I subscribed to a list using my home email address, but I can't post to the list from work. What do I do to fix this?</title>
|
| 282 |
|
| 283 |
<body><p>To reduce spam, all of our lists are configured to only allow posts from official subscriber email addresses. Fortunately,
|
| 284 |
<c>ezmlm/idx</c> supports a concept known as "aliases," allowing you to register alternate email addresses that can also be used to
|
| 285 |
post to the list. Here's an example of how this works. Let's say you subscribed to the <c>gentoo-dev</c> list as <c>jim@home.com</c>,
|
| 286 |
but you'd also like to post to the list using your <c>james@work.com</c> email address. To do this, send a message (as <c>jim@home.com</c>)
|
| 287 |
to <c>gentoo-dev-allow-subscribe-james=work.com@gentoo.org</c> (note the <c>@</c> becoming an <c>=</c>,) and then reply to the confirmation email you receive. You should then
|
| 288 |
be allowed to post to <c>gentoo-dev</c> using both your home and work email addresses.

<title>Where do I set/store my mailing list password?</title>
|
| 294 |
<body><p><c>ezmlm/idx</c> does not use passwords; instead, it uses auto-generated cryptographic cookies for security.

<title>I want to switch from regular delivery to digest delivery. How do I do this?</title>
|
| 300 |
<body><p>Unsubscribe from the normal list and then subscribe to the digest list. For list <c>listname</c>, this would be done by
|
| 301 |
sending empty emails to the following two addresses:</p>
|
| 302 |
<p><c>listname-unsubscribe@gentoo.org</c><br/>
|
| 303 |
<c>listname-digest-subscribe@gentoo.org</c>

<title>How do I use procmail to filter Gentoo mailing list messages?</title>
|
| 310 |
<body><p>To filter incoming mail arriving from list <c>listname</c>, use the following <c>procmail</c> recipe:</p>
|
| 311 |
<pre>
|
| 312 |
:0:
|
| 313 |
* ^List-Id:.*listname\.gentoo\.org
|
| 314 |
Mail/listname
|
| 315 |
</pre>
|
| 316 |
<p>This is identical to how you'd filter incoming <e>Mailman</e> mailing list manager emails.</p>
