Yes, but first of all, I am not sure that it would or could ever cope with all the situations that people want to handle here, that is mail coming in in N different ways, none of which can be configured or controlled by the mailman administrator, by unsubscribed users. And yes, I agree that this particular list should indeed accept messages from such people. Secondly, after ~6 years of seeing collabnet doing nothing to help on this, I'll spend time discussing mailman configuration only AFTER they have set it up and migrated this list to it. > > do what I already explained here... > > Yes, that works.

There is nothing to do manually in what I suggest other than "Reply to all" instead of "Reply-to-list" or Reply-to-whatever-the-default is. It's one click both ways. With the possible addition of a one time mail client automatic filter (=automatically remove duplicate messages) which SURELY works and is a useful thing to have anyway even outside this list. > There are also hundreds of messages per year about unsubscribing. If by this you mean "subscribers asking the list itself to unsubscribe them", this is the same situation of thousands of other high-volume mailing list worldwide. But only this one has came up with the <words-begin-to-fail-here> idea that subscribers must annoy themselves to death by setting up filters that can't be 100% effective and tweaking them every month AND sending to each other 2/3 extra unfilterable copies of each message "sent to unsubscribe poster" Marco -- Ninux Day: here's why you too may need your "neighborhood Internet": http://stop.zona-m.net/node/47 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
