Smartlist vacation, lists gateways
Hi there.
Just came back from vacation to find 500 (and counting) debian-user
messages on my mailbox. No big deal, I'll just wipe out everything with
debian-user as destination. :-P
But in shake of netecology and lazyness, I would like to find out how to
put my subscription on vacation, which is what I always prefer for high
volume lists anyway, since I prefer to Google Group such lists. I had a
quick try to find out how to do it in a Smartlist before vacation, but
my only results were: Smartlist uses X-Commands (simple additions to the
mail headers I supose) to interact with the list-request script, it
needs an addon to support suspend (vacation), and there's another for
parsing commands in-message-body.
1. A quick test ("help \n suspend \n end" to debian-user-request)
produced no feedback, so I take in-body commands aren't enabled. Is
suspend, and what's the X-command to set it?
2. Actually, I would prefer not to be subscribed at all, since I read
the list as news anyway. But I know all my messages to debian-user went
to /dev/null or equivalent without any error/moderation warning back,
until I subscribed my e-mail account. Is registration really required,
or is there a bug on the road?
And for extra points:
3. The only backside of Google Groups, is that I can't post directly
from there. What other news (or any other service that eases the
lurking of such copious information) gateways do you use? (specially
bidirectional ones). I seem to recall Gmane used to be able to send to
debian-user.
Best regards.
