Michael, Thanks for your reply. If you disagree with the arguments outlined in the URL I posted, please tell us why. From your reply, it almost seems like you didn't read it. Please don't insult my intelligence by suggesting I can somehow design a mail filter that will magically filter out all of the accidental (and often embarrassing) posts to the mailing list. I can't, and neither can you - there's no heuristic or algorithm that can know this. Besides, we should not have to. I give people much more credit than you do, as does the author of that essay. So do most experienced list-owners out there. Anyone who wants a post to go to the list will use the 'reply all' feature of their mailer. They'll understand that they're doing this, they'll know why they're posting it to the whole list, and they'll probably also expect their post to be reflected back to them from the list and go hunting for it if it's not. Some very compelling arguments are very clearly explained in the essay I pointed you to, and replying with "use your mail filters or unsubscribe" is not a very productive response (even if it COULD fix the problem). -Darren -- Darren Nickerson Senior Sales & Support Engineer iFAX Solutions, Inc. www.ifax.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] +1.215.438.4638 ext 8106 office +1.215.243.8335 fax _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
