 It's always done that to me, since I joined almost a year ago. Annoying,
 but that's the price we pay in this spam-riddled internet. It would be nice
 if it only verified once, then trusted you after that. But with windoze
 machines constantly being turned into spam-spewing zombies, I guess that
 wouldn't work either.

 I tried to create a kmail filter that would auto-reply for me, but I never
 got it working. The emails I generated looked legit to me, but Sympa
 wouldn't accept them. So I just live with the confirmations.

Seems like I subbed under the wrong address, as Anne and Eric pointed out. 
Eric says he's fixed it for me. I'll see if this messages gets a confirmation 
request.

Anne's right:  neither of you are on the sub list with the emails
you posted from.

I would normally just add you again, but then you'll get two copies
of each message.

Email me directly if you want help unsubbing or subbing the various

[newbie] Sympa

2003-07-02 Thread Lee Wiggers
I received the following after getting downright rude with Mandrake about not being 
able to subscribe here or with the expert list with my everyday email address.

Thought those of you with similar problems would get a chuckle.



Dear Mr ,

I'm sorry if I didn't find a solution for your mail adress to be on our lists. 
I asked the appropriate service but I think they didn't find a solution.

Sorry for the inconvenience, 

Stéphane Gustin




How can the distro be so good and the business end be so lame?  Don't they know that 
for many, the list is the reason the distro works?

Without you all I would have been off in another direction years ago.

[newbie] sympa???

2002-10-06 Thread Franki

Hi guys,

I finially decided to install Sympa figuring if its good enough for
mandrake, its good enough for me...

so i went to my mdk9 box and typed urpmi sympa
it gave me a package not found error...


so I walked over to an 8.2 box and typed the same, and low and behold, it
installed Sympa..

So my question is,,, where did it go from nine?? was it considered not
useful? has its license changed?

was it an accident? did mandrake include an alternate mailing list ???

any ideas anyone?


regards

frank

sympa like many other useful applications has never been part of the 'base 
distro'  It is maintained as part of 'Contribs'

In 8.2 download edition a snapshot of contrib was placed on CD3. This time for 
whatever reason 9.0 does not contain a contrib snapshot. Of course that does 
not stop you getting your hands on it. All mirrors have a contrib directory. 
For example
ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/contrib/i586

You can even get urpmi access with the command

urpmi.addmedia contrib 
ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/contrib/i586 with 
./synthesis.hdlist2.cz

(That command is all one line)

Be aware though that the synthesis file is not always up to date, and you may 
have to ftp to the directory to find the app you want.

A lot of programs are indeed missing.  I think this was done to make room 
for the Internationalization on the 3rd CD and to keep a 100% separation in 
the distro between Free and non-Free software.

I have found that MOST (not all) of the missing software is found under the 
contrib section of the FTP mirrors or at the Mandrake Club.

well the contribs take up 2 full cds, so...

some want 700MB isos so they don't have to download cd 3 if they don't need 
internationalizations, some want 650 for older drives, some want all free

[newbie] sympa... questo sconosciuto

2002-05-16 Thread Paolo Tomiato

Sto cercando di mettere su una lista x i miei amici e io e, dopo essermi letto
tutto quello che trovavo su postfix e majordomo, mi sono accorto che la mia
distro (mdk 8.1) cia' il sympa gia' installato!
Ora, mentre x tutto il resto ho trovato vari howto (anche in italiano!) + che
esaustivi, x quest'ultimo trovo solo quanto pubblicato sul sito francese di
riferimento.
Da una ricerca con google sulle pagine in italiano ho potuto rilevare che, pur
essendo utilizzato da varie liste in cui si parla di mandrake, nessuno di quelli
che hanno gia' implementato queste mailing list e' stato molto prodigo di
suggerimenti con tutti coloro che lamentavano difficolta' e problemi con questo
gestore... si limitavano a rispondere: questa lista e' implementata con sympa!
(come dire: tant'e', come vedi funziona, quindi datti una svegliata!).
Mah domani in ufficio mi stampo il manuale ufficiale (in francese?!?) poi,
se ci capisco qualcosa bene, al peggio lo disinstallo e uso Majordomo! ;)

P.S.: mi sono anche scaricato i manuali .pdf della mia distro ma di sympa
neanche l'ombra.
