Thread: Co-admininning pgsql-announce
Marc, Can you please make me (or someone else) co-moderator on pgsql-announce? Announcements are getting held up by as much as 3 days due to your workload (including one of mine which is time-critical). There are several people here who can help. Second, is there any way to change the reply-to setup on pgsql-announce? Currently anyone sending an announcement has to suffer through an average of 25-30 bounce messages. I don't think we're going to fix the bounces (there's 15,000 subscribers after all) but we could substitute a reply-to which would discard any replies. -- --Josh Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco
re: postings to pgsql-announce ... as I've told others, if you post something, send me an email directly to let me know and I can login right there and then to process it through ... re: reply-to ... sure, but it won't fix your bounce issue, since things like postmaster and mailer-daemon don't honor reply-to's, as far as I know ... or do they? regardless if they do or not, teh reply to needs to be set to something legit, so where would you have it set to? pgsql-general?

They most definitly shouldn't. (That said, I'm sure there are some that do. But even M$ Exchange doesn't :P) There is, however, an Errors-To header you can set. Far from all mailers support that one, but some do. And IIRC there is an RFC about it somewhere, so it's not home-invented. > regardless if they do or not, teh reply to needs to be set to > something legit, so where would you have it set to? pgsql-general? Yes, the Reply-To is for human responses. So setting it to a different list seems quite reasonable. //Magnus
