<title>Gentoo Linux Mailing List Overview</title> |

|
| 16 |
<p>The Gentoo Linux free software project has a number of public mailing lists, covering a variety of Gentoo Linux-related |
| 17 |
subjects. Our mailing lists are powered by a customized version of <uri link="http://ezmlm.org">ezmlm/idx</uri> that provides |
| 18 |
<c>List-Id:</c> mail headers and <c>[listname]</c> subject prefixes to comply with modern mailing list manager standards |
| 19 |
and conventions.</p> |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
<p>One interacts with <c>ezmlm/idx</c> via email. To subscribe to a list, send an empty email to:</p> |
| 22 |
<p><c>listname-subscribe@gentoo.org</c></p> |
| 23 |
<p>Once subscribed to the list, you can post to it by sending an email to:</p> |
| 24 |
<p><c>listname@gentoo.org</c></p> |
| 25 |
<p>To unsubscribe from a list, send an empty email to:</p> |
| 26 |
<p><c>listname-unsubscribe@gentoo.org</c></p> |
| 27 |
<p>All of our lists also have a corresponding digest list. Digest lists will mail a single email to you every couple of days, |
| 28 |
rather than individual emails for each post. Send an empty email to the following addresses to subscribe and unsubscribe from |
| 29 |
mailing lists respectively:</p> |
| 30 |
<p><c>listname-digest-subscribe@gentoo.org</c><br/> |
| 31 |
<c>listname-digest-unsubscribe@gentoo.org</c></p> |
| 32 |
<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 Linux mailing list system by reading the short Gentoo Linux mailing |
| 33 |
list FAQ that appears later in this document.</p> |

<title>Gentoo Linux Mailing List Mini-FAQ</title> |
| 259 |
<section> |
| 260 |
<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> |
| 261 |
|
| 262 |
<body><p>To reduce spam, all of our lists are configured to only allow posts from official subscriber email addresses. Fortunately, |
| 263 |
<c>ezmlm/idx</c> supports a concept known as "aliases," allowing you to register alternate email addresses that can also be used to |
| 264 |
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>, |
| 265 |
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>) |
| 266 |
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 |
| 267 |
be allowed to post to <c>gentoo-dev</c> using both your home and work email addresses. |
| 268 |
</p></body> |

|

<section> |
| 272 |
<title>Where do I set/store my mailing list password?</title> |
| 273 |
<body><p><c>ezmlm/idx</c> does not use passwords; instead, it uses auto-generated cryptographic cookies for security. |
| 274 |
</p></body> |
| 275 |
</section> |
| 276 |
|
| 277 |
<section> |
| 278 |
<title>I want to switch from regular delivery to digest delivery. How do I do this?</title> |
| 279 |
<body><p>Unsubscribe from the normal list and then subscribe to the digest list. For list <c>listname</c>, this would be done by |
| 280 |
sending empty emails to the following two addresses:</p> |
| 281 |
<p><c>listname-unsubscribe@gentoo.org</c><br/> |
| 282 |
<c>listname-digest-subscribe@gentoo.org</c> |
| 283 |
</p></body> |
| 284 |
</section> |
| 285 |
|
| 286 |
|
| 287 |
<section> |
| 288 |
<title>How do I use procmail to filter Gentoo Linux mailing list messages?</title> |
| 289 |
<body><p>To filter incoming mail arriving from list <c>listname</c>, use the following <c>procmail</c> recipe:</p> |
| 290 |
<pre> |
| 291 |
:0 |
| 292 |
* ^List-Id:.*listname\.gentoo\.org |
| 293 |
Mail/listname |
| 294 |
</pre> |
| 295 |
<p>This is identical to how you'd filter incoming <e>Mailman</e> mailing list manager emails.</p> |
