Hey Carlos,
Wow that sounds awesome! Does it mean that any user with valid openSUSE credentials (I have in mind the type of credials used by OBS and accessible from the idp-portal) will be able to post to any of these mailman 3 MLs without the hassle described in my previous email?
AFAIK no.
What it means, I understand, is that you can go to a single web page and click to subscribe to several lists in one page.
That's unfortunate. Ideally one would check for a sender's credentials ahead of their actual messages to openSUSE MLs.
Today, a subscriber's "credentials" are established when he subscribes, automatically. That is how mailing lists have worked for two-three decades, I'm not sure if there is much room nor need for improvement.
This way the sender: - - wouldn't get their message stuck in the purgatory, provided their address was associated with the right credentials; - - would only get the replies that use their address, so that they don't have to worry about filtering (typically me when I spam many MLs but don't want to receive all messages that are not direct replies).
When you subscribe to the nomail version of a list, a) your postings don't get stuck b) you only get replies that are sent directly to your address. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.0°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
