Well, just a few minutes later I had the first problems and needed to adjust the filtering rules.

Actually my previous mail also happened to be a question and test mail at once, because I sent it via gmane, and I just received this message from gmane --- quote --- You have sent a message to be posted on the gmane.editors.vim newsgroup. This is a non-public mailing list, which means that you have to subscribe to the list to post to it. If you're already subscribed to the list, Gmane can forward the message you sent to the list if you respond to this message. If not, you should sign up to the mailing list first, and then respond to this message, or just forget about it. Many mailing lists have an option to subscribe to a list, but then put it in 'nomail' mode, which means that you won't receive any mail from the list. The mailing list software used for the list in question is google. You have to respond within one week. --- quote --- Of course I did response, that's why you can read my question after all ;) Well, at least I know it's possible to send messages using the account I already created now. That's good. But I still need to know if it's possible to put the vim mailing lists into the 'nomail' mode as described above.

Or explicitly say that it's not possible, of course. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. For more information, visit http://www.vim.org/maillist.php
