You don't think getting bounces every time you respond to a message is annoying? I get annoyed whenever a user posts with an address which bounces and I get *really* annoyed at the similar case when someone's email address has a broken mailer which bounces to people who post to the mailing list. >> > (If you want it to be even more pain-free, add a Reply-To: >> > pgsql-advocacy header or some such.) >> >> Yeah, actually that doesn't work. > > Hmm, it doesn't work how?

More dramatically if I had tried to reply personally to you your Reply-To would redirect the personal message to the list. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Ask me about EnterpriseDB's On-Demand Production Tuning -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

You don't have to do anything about it; just wait for the moderator to approve it. In fact, when I (as the sender) get those, I just delete them. (I admit that it is not as nice as on Usenet, which doesn't have the whole "subscriber" concept so this is all moot.) > > (If you want it to be even more pain-free, add a Reply-To: > > pgsql-advocacy header or some such.) > > Yeah, actually that doesn't work.

Yeah, actually that doesn't work. If you want to do that the only way to do it properly is to Bcc the various lists with the To set to the list you want followups to go to. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Ask me about EnterpriseDB's Slony Replication support! -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

That is why I didn't. Cross posting is not necessarily bad; in fact it's regarded to be less annoying than multiposting, which is what you did.
