The Gentoo free software project has a number of public mailing lists, covering |
| 23 |
a variety of Gentoo-related subjects. Our mailing lists are powered by |
| 24 |
<uri link="http://mlmmj.mmj.dk">mlmmj</uri> and |
| 25 |
provides <c>List-Id:</c> mail headers and <c>[listname]</c> subject prefixes to |
| 26 |
comply with modern mailing list manager standards and conventions. |
| 27 |
</p> |

<p> |
| 30 |
One interacts with <c>mlmmj</c> via email. To subscribe to a list, send an |
| 31 |
empty email to: |
| 32 |
</p> |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
<p><c>listname-subscribe@gentoo.org</c></p> |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
<note> |
| 37 |
Replace 'listname' with the actual name of the list that you want to subscribe to. |
| 38 |
</note> |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
<p>Once subscribed to the list, you can post to it by sending an email to:</p> |
| 41 |
<p><c>listname@gentoo.org</c></p> |
| 42 |
<p>To unsubscribe from a list, send an empty email to:</p> |
| 43 |
<p><c>listname-unsubscribe@gentoo.org</c></p> |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
<p> |
| 46 |
All of our lists also have a corresponding digest list. Digest lists will mail |
| 47 |
a single email to you every couple of days, rather than individual emails for |
| 48 |
each post. Send an empty email to the following addresses to subscribe and |
| 49 |
unsubscribe from mailing lists respectively: |
| 50 |
</p> |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
<p> |
| 53 |
<c>listname-subscribe-digest@gentoo.org</c><br/> |
| 54 |
<c>listname-unsubscribe-digest@gentoo.org</c> |

We used to host our own mail archives, but that got pretty boring fast. The |
| 416 |
following sites host pretty decent archives of most of the mailing lists, so |
| 417 |
please utilize them rather than asking for 'official' Gentoo mailing list |
| 418 |
archives. These are the 'official' ones :).<br/> |

<title>Mailing List Mini-FAQ</title> |

<section> |
| 431 |
<title>I subscribed to a list using my home email address, but I can't post to |
| 432 |
the list from work. What do I do to fix this?</title> |
| 433 |

<p> |
| 436 |
To reduce spam, all of our lists are configured to only allow posts from |
| 437 |
official subscriber email addresses. Fortunately, <c>mlmmj</c> supports |
| 438 |
"nomail" subscriptions, allowing you to register alternate email addresses |
| 439 |
that can be used only for posting to the list. Here's an example of how this works. |
| 440 |
Let's say you subscribed to the <c>gentoo-dev</c> list as <c>jim@home.com</c>, |
| 441 |
but you'd also like to post to the list using your <c>james@work.com</c> email |
| 442 |
address. To do this, send a message (as <c>james@work.com</c>) to |
| 443 |
<c>gentoo-dev-subscribe-nomail@gentoo.org</c> |
| 444 |
You should then be allowed to post to <c>gentoo-dev</c> using both your home |
| 445 |
and work email addresses. |

Unsubscribe from the normal list and then subscribe to the digest list. For |
| 458 |
list <c>listname</c>, this would be done by sending empty emails to the |
| 459 |
following two addresses: |
| 460 |
</p> |
| 461 |
|
| 462 |
<p><c>listname-unsubscribe@gentoo.org</c><br/> |
| 463 |
<c>listname-subscribe-digest@gentoo.org</c> |

<title>How do I use procmail to filter Gentoo mailing list messages?</title> |
| 471 |
<body> |
| 472 |
|
| 473 |
<p> |
| 474 |
To filter incoming mail arriving from list <c>listname</c>, use the following |
| 475 |
<c>procmail</c> recipe: |
| 476 |
</p> |
| 477 |
|
| 478 |
<pre caption="Sample procmail recipe"> |
| 479 |
:0: |
| 480 |
* ^List-Id:.*listname\.gentoo\.org |
| 481 |
Mail/listname |
| 482 |
</pre> |
| 483 |
|
| 484 |
<p> |
| 485 |
This is identical to how you'd filter incoming <e>Mailman</e> mailing list |
| 486 |
manager emails. |
