Okay, before the flames begin...I''ve already tried emailing owner@centos.org without response (figure it''s probably overloaded with spam or whatever, making it difficult to monitor). Thus why I''m even posting here ;-) Maybe I''m alone, but I subscribe to the list to be delivered in Daily Digest format. This is to keep the inbox under control and other personal reasons. Lately with the recent increase in list activity (good thing BTW), we''re getting multiple digest emails every day (Tuesday was 9 "daily digests") kind of defeating the definition and purpose of the "daily digest" to begin with. Only going to increase as the list traffic increases. Can this be dialed down to say 1 email a day or maybe 2? Say a digest every 12 hours during heavy list activity? Heck even 3 max, every 8 hours would be better than the current deluge at times. Kind of curious how others feel about this (if anyone cares, grin) and if others using the "daily digest" mailings feel the same as I do? Not trying to stir up anything, just curious if there is a setting that could be tweaked on the mailing list to make the daily digest a daily digest again. Thanks JT
personally I see no use for daily digests anyway, I can understand daily/weekly/monthly digests made by a person (cutting out junk and shortening phrases) - but I''ve yet to see digests made by a computer which would be better than simply receiving the mails in question and deleting according to subject line... But that''s my opinion... Cheers, MaZe.

If it weren''t for gmail''s threading, I''d be sunk with the number of emails there are... I don''t subscribe to the "daily digest" but since daily does mean daily, I think it should be one per day. :) have a great weekend everyone, David On Fri, 4 Mar 2005 19:17:19 +0100 (CET), Maciej ?enczykowski <maze@cela.pl> wrote:> personally I see no use for daily digests anyway, I can understand > daily/weekly/monthly digests made by a person (cutting out junk and > shortening phrases) - but I''ve yet to see digests made by a computer which > would be better than simply receiving the mails in question and deleting > according to subject line... > > But that''s my opinion... > > Cheers, > MaZe. > > On Fri, 4 Mar 2005, Jeffrey Thomas wrote: > > > Okay, before the flames begin...I''ve already tried emailing owner@centos.org > > without response (figure it''s probably overloaded with spam or whatever, > > making it difficult to monitor).

And if you use Thunderbird, it takes all of 30 seconds to set up a filter to automagically cull list mail into its own directory so you can read it at your leisure.

[Centos] Re: centos] Can the "daily digests" be tamed down?

If one of the mailman listd has that it is seriously misconfigured, and we need to track it down. Thanks -- Russ Herrold
