 What rule do you use to do this?
Michael,

I use Evolution.

Spam..
Evolution =Tools= Filters =incoming = Filter rules = Add
Rule name pharmacy.  Add criterion.   Execute actions: if any
criteria are met
change Sender to Subject. select contains .type in Viagra 
[for other give-away words, Add criterion, etc]

Then Add action. change Move to folder to Delete. OK

Diversion.
[First create folder Newbie (or whatever) File = New = Folder= type
name =  where? in Local Folders]. Then as above.except that
instead of Viagra, type newbie
Add action Move to folder click here to select a folder browse
to Newbie folder. OK.

There are quite a lot of other possibilities too.

Hope this is what you meant.

DougB

 Hello Douglas,

 I couldn't sign up via the web either - tried the email and it worked.

I've had that happen in the past with the newbie list.But the e-mail
doesn't work either, for the expert list for me.

 What kind of response are you getting? Are you using any email
 filters? 

The e-mail filters I use:
1) delete e-mails with subjects that are explicitly pornographic,
selling pharmaceuticals or from credit companies
2) divert newbie posts to a Newbie folder.
everything else comes into my Inbox, so I don't think I'm missing
anything relevant. 
Beats me!

DougB

 It might be that the reply email looks like spam to some
 filters because of the subject line.

[newbie] Expert list

2003-09-05 Thread Douglas Bainbridge
Is there some secret sign,password or ceremony necessary in order to get
on to the expert mailing list?

I've tried repeatedly to subscribe, both through linux-mandrake.com and
by e-mails to sympa, to ask for help with a problem not solved here.

Never a request for confirmation, nor acknowledgement, nor post
downloads.

What gives?
