That's the correct wiki page explaining everything about mail list subscription.
Well it still doesn't work! It gives the same error as the email subscription method David pointed out.
"The message is not from a list member
"The original message as received by Mailman is attached.
"From: Dave Howorth <bugs.at.lists@howorth.org.uk> To: bugs+subscribe-nomail@lists.opensuse.org Subject: subscribe Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2024 14:53:06 +0100"
That's interesting.
The syntax on the headers say:
List-Subscribe: <mailto:users-join@lists.opensuse.org>
Ie, you have to send an empty email to "bugs-join@lists.opensuse.org", and perhaps "bugs-subscribe@lists.opensuse.org",
Let me try to retrieve the help mail.
List-Help: <mailto:test-request@lists.opensuse.org?subject=help>
I got back:
Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2024 14:41:34 +0000 From: test-bounces@lists.opensuse.org To: ...@telefonica.net Subject: The results of your email commands
The results of your email command are provided below.
- Original message details: From: "Carlos E. R." <...@telefonica.net> Subject: help Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2024 16:40:56 +0200 (CEST) Message-ID: <52ce5170-dff7-3239-3969-c44a6ec21f68@telefonica.net>
- Results: confirm - Confirm a subscription or held message request. echo - Echo back your arguments. end - Stop processing commands. help - Get help about available email commands. join - Join this mailing list. leave - Leave this mailing list. stop - An alias for 'end'. subscribe - An alias for 'join'. unsubscribe - An alias for 'leave'. who - Get a list of the list members. No such command: -- No such command: cheers No such command: e. No such command: 15.5
- Done.
So to subscribe, this "might" work:
to:test-request@lists.opensuse.org subject=subscribe
There is no command for "nomail". You can do that at the web interface, though.
Looking at the web page, it says:
subscribe: <LISTNAME-subscribe@lists.opensuse.org>. nomailsubs: <LISTNAME+subscribe-nomail@lists.opensuse.org>
The later can't be, that '+' should be a '-'. Perhaps you can try that?
Or perhaps you can try? My opinion is that all the joining by email instructions are wrong and the only way to join is using the web form. That does work as I've done it. Now I need to work out how to unsubscribe ... :)
