Hi Should it be possible to add a prefix ([samba] for example) to the mail subject, like we can see in other mailing list ? In order to easily distinguish personal and samba mail ? Thanks. Camille HUOT
I would really appreciate this. I have mail rules to sort my mailing list mail into different folders. Sorting Samba list traffic by the To: header isn't always reliable. -----Original Message----- From: Camille HUOT [mailto:cam@bsdfr.org] Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2002 11:54 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [samba] prefix missing in subject Hi Should it be possible to add a prefix ([samba] for example) to the mail subject, like we can see in other mailing list ?

However, I have a procmail receipt that works nearly 100% of the time for this list. My receipt is as fillows: :0 * ^Delivered-To.*samba.org $MAILDIR/Lists/Samba/ Regards, -- Greg J. Zartman, P.E.

Nothing consistant. I currently have to have two rules in Outlook, one for mail that's sent to 'samba@samba.org' and one that's sent to 'samba@lists.samba.org'. Even then mail occasionally slips through that somehow makes it without either of those in the header (but isn't addressed specifically to me.) I think maybe it happens when people BCC the list. -----Original Message----- From: Tom Diehl [mailto:tdiehl@rogueind.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2002 7:42 PM To: Greg Zartman Cc: rsmrcina@wi.rr.com; samba@lists.samba.org Subject: Re: [samba] prefix missing in subject There are things in the header of ALL messages from this list that are easier and better to filter on.
I'd also like to note that if you hate subject header flags so much, you could always use your beloved Procmail to filter them out. ;)
An additional issue arises if manually making sure samba was in the subject title. (I am not venturing an opinion on whether the samba in the subject this is good or bad.) This issue is: "What is to be done when samba is not in subject?" Would the group flame every newbie who has a question and no clue that they should be putting samba in the mail subject? I think that flaming newbies would be counterproductive. Without some enforcement, the manual method would just not happen. If an automatic method was chosen, using a [samba] suffix instead of a prefix would resolve some of the arguments. I am unsure whether the list server is capable of such a function, so the suffix method may or may not be feasible. -- Robert E.

Could we try to put this [samba] prefix for several days/weeks and see if there is a lot of complains or not ? Any samba-list administrator is reading this mailing list and could say what he think about this topic ? Camille HUOT
