The list server puts you on moderation when you first join. Usually I recognise regular posters names after a while and take them off - less work for me! However, on looking at the admin screens you are not on moderation... The other thing that might trigger it is if you are sending from a different address than the one you registered with? It all looks OK at first glance,.. -- Alan G Tutor list moderator. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

why is it I get this messages repeatedly despite having been reading and writing on the list for over a year now? This has happened to me once in a while too. I conjecture that it might be a bug with Mailman, but I'd have to dive into the code to be certain. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

When does it stop? I think these come when the listserver gets a message from a mailbox it doesn't recognise. It puts the mails in the moderation queue and sends the message(it used to send one to the moderators too but seems to have stopped doing that! :-( So if you are not subscribed to the list, or are subscribed but using a different mail address then you get one of these messages. I think But the settings of the sever are cloaked in mystery! :-) And that reminds me that I haven't checked the mod queue for over a week - oops! I also seem to get one of these when I haven't posted for a couple of weeks. I never tried to calibrate it, but that's what it seems to be. Perhaps it's keeping a cache of recent posters, and once I'm flushed from the cache, it considers me new. This is different from the case where I post from a different address. In that case, I get a mail saying that only subscribers can post. Or something like that. -- DaveA ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

This automated response is sent to those of you new to the Tutor list, to point out a few resources that can help with answering your own questions, or improve the chances of getting a useful answer from the other subscribers. If your question is something akin to: I've just heard about Python, and it sounds great! Where can I find out more on how to program with Python? or: What's Python? please read section 1 below. On the other hand, if your question is: I've heard that Python is good for hacking -- I want to know more! or Can you teach me how to break into a computer with Python? please read section 2 at the bottom of this email. Section 1: -- The most comprehensive overview of python.org help resources is at http://www.python.org/Help.html The Python FAQ is available at http://www.python.org/doc/FAQ.html and it has answers to many questions that people ask, possibly including your question. Another wealth of information and experience can be found via the python.org searches, at http://www.python.org/search/ There you'll find comprehensive, easy-to-use searches over the python.org web site and the Python newsgroup, comp.lang.python. Python has an online tutorial, available freely from http://www.python.org/doc/current/tutorial/index.html Finally, when you do send email to the Tutor list, be as clear as you can about the problem, including, when relevant, details like: - Precise error messages, including complete tracebacks - The hardware platform (available in the Python sys module as sys.platform) - The python version (sys.version) - The python search path (sys.path) In general, be specific about what was going on connected with the problem or what specific concept you're having difficulties with. The better the info you provide, the more likely the helpers will be able to glean the answer... There's a HOWTO that shows how to ask smart questions to technical folks: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Although it is provocative, it does have some good points, and is an interesting read. Note that no one is paid to read the tutor list or provide answers, and most readers often have other work that demands their attention. Well-posed requests for help are usually answered fairly promptly, but occasionally a request slips by, so if you do not get a response with one or two working days (it's usually quicker than that), please feel free to send a followup, asking whether anyone is working on your question. Anyway, your message is being delivered to the Tutor list as this one is being sent. However, if your question was about as detailed as Teach me how to program in Python, do not count on an answer -- this email contains all the information you need to start. Come back with a more precise question, and we'll be glad to help. Thanks! Section 2: -- We periodically get requests which ask about hacking or cracking or breaking into computers. If you haven't yet, go read Eric Raymond's article How To Become a Hacker at http://catb.org/esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html If, after you've read that, you want help learning how to hack the way Eric defines the word, then come back to us (and read Section 1 above). If you want help learning how to crack, go look elsewhere -- we're not interested in helping you do that. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
