This is better ... or even better do away with the "commercial" posts altogether. If people want to post on the list, they can participate like we are doing, and maybe add stuff like "cheap linux cds available - http://example.com"; in their signature. > OK.

The guy who is operating the list should be prepared to show at any time 1. log of subscription request 2. log of confirmation ... any mailing list (majordomo, etc) along with a mysql / ldap backend. -- Suresh Ramasubramanian <----> mallet <at> efn dot org EMail Sturmbannfuhrer, Lower Middle Class Unix Sysadmin [Linux One Stanza Tip] From : <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> LOST #157 -**< Sub : Spell check within Mutt >**- If you have the ispell package (interactive spelling checker) installed, and maybe your preferred dictionary file iamerican, ibritish (whatever), press "i" after finishing composition and prior to sending mail (under mutt) ... _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
