Mailing Lists
The Gentoo free software project has a number of public mailing lists, covering
a variety of Gentoo-related subjects. Our mailing lists are powered by
mlmmj and
provides List-Id: mail headers and [listname] subject prefixes to
comply with modern mailing list manager standards and conventions.
One interacts with mlmmj via email. To subscribe to a list, send an
empty email to:
listname+subscribe@lists.gentoo.org
Note:
Replace 'listname' with the actual name of the list that you want to subscribe
to, e.g.: gentoo-user+subscribe@lists.gentoo.org to subscribe to the
gentoo-user mailing list.
|
Once subscribed to the list, you can post to it by sending an email to:
listname@lists.gentoo.org
To unsubscribe from a list, send an empty email to:
listname+unsubscribe@lists.gentoo.org
All of our lists also have a corresponding digest list. Digest lists will mail
a single email to you every couple of days, rather than individual emails for
each post. If you are subscribed to the digest variant and wish to be
unsubscribed, you must specifically unsubscribe from the digest variant. Using
the email address that you wish to (un)subscribe, send an empty email to the
following addresses to subscribe and unsubscribe from mailing lists
respectively:
listname+subscribe-digest@lists.gentoo.org
listname+unsubscribe-digest@lists.gentoo.org
Some users may want to post to the list, but not actually receive mail from
it (such as those who read lists via an alternate method, such as gmane).
These users may subscribe to the "nomail" option of each list:
listname+subscribe-nomail@lists.gentoo.org
listname+unsubscribe-nomail@lists.gentoo.org
You can learn more about the capabilities of mlmmj by sending an empty mail to the
following address:
listname+help@lists.gentoo.org
You can also learn more about the Gentoo mailing list system by reading the
short Gentoo mailing
list FAQ that appears later in this document.

Mailing List Mini-FAQ
I subscribed to a list using my home email address, but I can't post to
the list from work. What do I do to fix this?
To reduce spam, all of our lists are configured to only allow posts from
official subscriber email addresses. Fortunately, mlmmj supports
"nomail" subscriptions, allowing you to register alternate email addresses
that can be used only for posting to the list. Here's an example of how this works.
Let's say you subscribed to the gentoo-dev list as jim@home.com,
but you'd also like to post to the list using your james@work.com email
address. To do this, send a message (as james@work.com) to
gentoo-dev+subscribe-nomail@lists.gentoo.org
You should then be allowed to post to gentoo-dev using both your home
and work email addresses.
I want to switch from regular delivery to digest delivery. How do I do
this?
Unsubscribe from the normal list and then subscribe to the digest list. For
list listname, this would be done by sending empty emails to the
following two addresses:
listname+unsubscribe@lists.gentoo.org
listname+subscribe-digest@lists.gentoo.org
How do I use procmail to filter Gentoo mailing list messages?
To filter incoming mail arriving from list listname, use the following
procmail recipe:
Code Listing 1.1: Sample procmail recipe |
:0:
* ^List-Id:.*listname\.gentoo\.org
Mail/listname
|
This is identical to how you'd filter incoming Mailman mailing list
manager emails.
Misc list policies.
Please do not send any vacation or out of office messages to the list. In
the interests of reducing list spam, if you set any auto-responding message
that goes to the lists, we will unsubscribe your account from ALL lists. Any
previously subscribed addresses that send mail server messages to the lists
will also be removed.
