Is the only option for responding to posts in this group to receive ALL of the messages posted in this group by email?
Hallo, Peter, Du meintest am 15.01.10:> Is the only option for responding to posts in this group to receive > ALL of the messages posted in this group by email?Yes - that's the major principle of mailing lists. Viele Gruesse! Helmut

This is an on/off setting in the subscribers' optional settings. 2) Subscribers who elect to receive messages posted to the list will receive ALL messages postings. 3) There is no option to filter on message subject. 4) List subscribers can post to the list. Messages sent by a subscriber will be sent directly to the list. 5) Non-subscribers can also post to the list. Messages sent by a non-subscriber will be held for moderation. It is up to the moderator to determine what will be accepted or rejected. 6) There are a number of moderators, each exercises his/her own discretion. 7) There have been (and possibly still are) subscribers who elect not to receive postings to the mailing list. 8) Subscribers who elect not to receive postings CAN post to the list. - John Terpstra a list moderator
Also I believe there is an option to receive a daily digest, rather than in real time, at least there used to be... ----- Original Message -----> From: samba-bounces at lists.samba.org <samba-bounces at lists.samba.org> > To: Peter Olcott <peteolcott at gmail.com>, John H Terpstra <jht at samba.org> > Cc: samba at lists.samba.org <samba at lists.samba.org> > Sent: Friday, January 15, 2010 4:37:21 PM GMT+0200 Europe;Athens > Subject: Re: [Samba] Options for responding to this group?> > On 01/15/2010 07:54 AM, Peter Olcott wrote: > > Is the only option for responding to posts in this group to receive > ALL of > > the messages posted in this group by email? > > 1) Subscribers to the samba mailing list can control whether or not > they > receive messages that are posted to the list.

How can one completely turn off email postings in such a case? I have opted for email digests, which I delete unread. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
