Please don''t return read receipts to list posts even if the original poster foolishly requested them. They end up being sent to the list management software (Mailman) who doesn''t know what to do with them and dutifully forwards them on to me :-( -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Shorewall - iptables made easy Shoreline, \ http://www.shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net
You could just kill those off alltogether. I did this with some extra
sendmail rules.
Put this in your sendmail.mc (and don''t forget to use TABS to separate
the $# stuff in the lower part, spaces will not work):
LOCAL_RULESETS
F{DiscardSubs} /etc/mail/discardsubs.txt
HSubject: $>Check_Subject
SCheck_Subject
R$* $={DiscardSubs} $* $#discard
^^(The TAB should go there)
This is in my discardsubs.txt:
read:
not.read:
All those annoying messages will be silently dropped. Please note also
that you will not receive replies from other ppl on messages that you
requested a read receipt on (but I never do that).
