Re: [META] Use of the list for non-Debian matters

[jomsteve@uwaterloo.ca (Max Stevens)]

As long as we're talking about this list and filters, I just joined
this list and I made sure I had a mailfilter going *before I even
joined*.  I mean come on people, there's always going to be noise on a
mailing list.  Filtering it is better then complaining about it.

I recommend (highly highly highly) procmail, since it can do
everything under the sun.  My procmailrc file (or a watered down
version thereof) is...
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/proclog   # recommended
LOCKEXT=.procmaillock
LOGABSTRACT=all            # while debugging, make it log a lot

But of course, now I'm not talking about debian specific stuff
anymore.

          Max is a sagittarius but Max's family owns a taurus.
                  This is the dichotomy that is Max.
