So, consider:
- SET NOMAIL, and use a newsreader (e.g., Thunderbird or Outlook)
- SET NOMAIL, and follow it in Google Groups or via the web interface
- Get the daily DIGEST instead of all the posts
In all three cases, don't forget to forward the e-mail to the list
server if you want everyone to see it. If you choose the first (which I
personally find most convenient), there are free NNTP servers like this
one: eternal-september.org

Hi
I would like to subscribe to IBM-MAIN on my Work Email but since its
work I would only like to receive messages that I have posted to as
opposed to my personal e-mail where I receive all messages
Can anyone point me in the direction
I think this list is "all or nothing". You cannot receive only messages which you yourself posted and their replies (i.e. a
"thread"). You can do a "digest" - all emails for the day, sent at the end of the day; "normal" - receive
individual messages during the day; "nomail" - don't receive any messages at all (like ur on vacation). I don't know of any
mailing list which has a "solicited only" (threads in which I participated) selection. I can envision setting up such a thing,
but I don't think anyone has.
As an aside, this might be considered a bit "silly". Supposed everybody set such an option? The discussion
would be very limited because nobody would ever receive an original email. Some might even consider it to be a bit
"rude" - "I can talk to you at any time, but don't talk to me without my permission." . I'm sure
that's not your intent. I wanted something like this way back when too. Now, I just use a gmail account which I access
via http://mail.google.com instead of "local delivery".
