Обсуждение: Mail list manager request
Looking at the postgresql.org web site I could not find the mail list manager for direct contact so I apologize for writing here. I use procmail to sort incoming messages to the proper file. Messages from the mail list come with varying information at the bottom of the headers; it could be From:, Cc:, cc:, or in two cases List-ID:. Because of the inconsistency I cannot get a recipe that consistently puts the mail list messages in the proper file so they end up in my alpine INBOX where I need to manually redirect them; Please modify the MLM software to use the List-Id: on all messages that way my procmail recipe: :0: * ^List-Id:.*<pgsql-general\.lists\.postgresql\.org> database will put incoming threads and messages where they belong. Thanks in advance, Rich

At a not-entirely-wild guess, based on replies to your recent couple of posts, the messages that went astray were the direct mail copies that never passed through the list in the first place. I use an almost identical recipe myself (and a matching one for psql-admin) and I don't recall seeing stray mail since the list platform migration. I catch most of those direct-mail copies with this addition: :0 * ^TO_pgsql-.*@(lists.)?postgresql.org $DEFAULT/.postgres/ Personally, I try to keep mail to any of the lists I read purely on-list unless a personal CC has been explicitly asked for. -kgd

The most recent one was To: me and the mail list, From: the sender. So I was not sent to only the mail list. > I catch most of those direct-mail copies with this addition: > > :0 > * ^TO_pgsql-.*@(lists.)?postgresql.org > $DEFAULT/.postgres/ Added here.

I have always responded to the list so others interested in the thread can see all messages. Regards, Rich
