The recent change is inconvenience as I have to edit header for every posting. I really don't want to reply to anybody privately and the TB that has well solved privacy protection, has 2 options: 1. Reply to Sender 2. Reply to All They work both as the name tells for peer to peer mails. With list 1. gives a private email and the 2. all private and the list.
I got that. Thunderbird has no list-reply. Thats the fault of Thunderbird. There even are bugreport about it in the mozilla bugzilla.
The Spam Assassin protects the lists from the spam that some might post to
There is no single spam mail going trough any of our lists. This is not because they are protected by filtering but because spammers dont subscribe to mailinglists. They need a valid email account to subscribe to the list because subscribing is interactive and this is costing them more than they get out of one mail they get to send to the list subscribers (because they know for sure that the email address will be unsubscribed/blocked once they did send spam). So its simply to costly for them to send spam to subscribers only mailinglists.
I've seen one try, but it never happened again.
but contributors are not protected from harvesters. That is what I meant as partially solved problem.
I see. Now youre making sense :)
Did I? Yoopie :-D
What I would like to see is something like what you applied in the mail list archives, overwriting of private mail addresses with xxxxxxxxxx, which is excellent. If that would be possible for mails that list server sends to subscribers, than is solved the second problem of protecting the subscribers.
This is not possible. I dont know any mailinglist software that does this. And im even not sure if i would be willing to pay the price of total anonymity on our mailinglist to protect subscribers from address harvesting.

I've seen Christian's comment moments before so I can agree that anonymity and functionality need balance. I'm just upset when I see how much effort is used to avoid spam filters in the mails I get. -- Regards, Rajko. Visit http://en.opensuse.org/MiniSUSE
