<p>The Gentoo free software project has a number of public mailing lists, covering a variety of Gentoo-related |
18 |
klieber |
1.16 |
subjects. Our mailing lists are powered by a customized version of <uri link="http://ezmlm.org">ezmlm/idx</uri> that provides |
19 |
drobbins |
1.1 |
<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 |
klieber |
1.37 |
<note>Replace 'listname' with the actual name of the list that you want to subscribe to</note> |
25 |
drobbins |
1.1 |
<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> |

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>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. |
