Mailinglist Archive: opensuse (4600 mails)

["Carlos E. R." <robin1.listas@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Seeing those complains about people that CC to the list and to the
original poster (so that we get double copies), and those that complain
that replying to an email on the list result on emailing the original
poster only, I'll paste here my procmail recipes.

        :0
	# Change this as appropriate - I use this address only
	# for list mails, so I can take advantage of it.
        * ^Original-Recipient: rfc822;robin1.listas@.......
        {
		# This recipe catches only mail coming from
		# the suse list server, and only SLE
                :0f
                * ^X-Mailinglist: suse-linux-e
		# Change/add the reply-to header
                | /usr/bin/formail -bfi "Reply-To:suse-linux-e@xxxxxxxx"
		# And move to the appropriate folder
                :0 a:
                $HOME/Mail/lists/suse-linux-e

		# Handle other lists

		# Remove duplicates for SLE
                :0
                * ^TO_suse-linux-e@xxxxxxxx
                $HOME/Mail/lists/in_dups


                # The rest - direct mail, and spam leaking
                :0
                $HOME/Mail/lists/in_elresto
        }


I know, I know - we can hit the reply to list on kmail and others - but I
use Pine that doesn't have it.

Also, moving direct mail that also get CCed to the list to a separate
folder, allows me to delete them, or simply check that I got an answer and
find it later on the list. This way I don't get annoyed by reading a
repeated mail by accident - and no matter how we complain about it, it
will keep happening.

And, for those asking why the suse lists act this way, I'll simply answer
that the should read again the confirmation email they got when they
subscribed :-)
