The Gentoo free software project has a number of public mailing lists, covering |
22 |
|
|
a variety of Gentoo-related subjects. Our mailing lists are powered by a |
23 |
|
|
customized version of <uri link="http://ezmlm.org">ezmlm/idx</uri> that |
24 |
|
|
provides <c>List-Id:</c> mail headers and <c>[listname]</c> subject prefixes to |
25 |
|
|
comply with modern mailing list manager standards and conventions. |
26 |
|

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

We used to host our own mail archives, but that got pretty boring fast. The |
332 |
|
|
following sites host pretty decent archives of most of the mailing lists, so |
333 |
|
|
please utilize them rather than asking for 'official' Gentoo mailing list |
334 |
|
|
archives. These are the 'official' ones :).<br/> <uri |

To reduce spam, all of our lists are configured to only allow posts from |
352 |
|
|
official subscriber email addresses. Fortunately, <c>ezmlm/idx</c> supports a |
353 |
|
|
concept known as "aliases," allowing you to register alternate email addresses |
354 |
|
|
that can also be used to post to the list. Here's an example of how this works. |
355 |
|
|
Let's say you subscribed to the <c>gentoo-dev</c> list as <c>jim@home.com</c>, |
356 |
|
|
but you'd also like to post to the list using your <c>james@work.com</c> email |
357 |
|
|
address. To do this, send a message (as <c>jim@home.com</c>) to |
358 |
|
|
<c>gentoo-dev-allow-subscribe-james=work.com@gentoo.org</c> (note the <c>@</c> |
359 |
|
|
becoming an <c>=</c>,) and then reply to the confirmation email you receive. |
360 |
|
|
You should then be allowed to post to <c>gentoo-dev</c> using both your home |
361 |
|
|
and work email addresses. |

Unsubscribe from the normal list and then subscribe to the digest list. For |
386 |
|
|
list <c>listname</c>, this would be done by sending empty emails to the |
387 |
|
|
following two addresses: |
388 |
|
|

389 |
|
|
|
390 |
|
|
<p><c>listname-unsubscribe@gentoo.org</c><br/> |
391 |
|
|
<c>listname-digest-subscribe@gentoo.org</c> |

To filter incoming mail arriving from list <c>listname</c>, use the following |
403 |
|
|
<c>procmail</c> recipe: |

This is identical to how you'd filter incoming <e>Mailman</e> mailing list |
414 |
|

manager emails. |
