Greetings!

This list has now been migrated to new mailing list software known as
'PGLister'.  This migration will impact all users of this mailing list
in one way or another.

If you would like to unsubscribe from this mailing list, please click on
'Show Original' or 'Show Headers' in your client and find the
'List-Unsubscribe' header which will include a link that you can click
on (or copy/paste into your browser) and use to unsubscribe yourself
from this list.

The changes which we expect to be most significant to users can be found
on the wiki here: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PGLister_Announce the
current version of which is also included below.

Thank you!

Stephen

A peeve on this new configuration:    if someone does a reply-all and 
sends both direct and list responses, the direct response ends up in my 
regular inbox because it doesn't have the List-ID... Previously, the 
direct reply would still have the Subject: [listname] that I filtered 
on, so it too would end up in my 'postgres' folder, where I want it.

I realize why this was done, and yada yada, what a mess.

Yep, but that is why the list-id filter is bad advice (at least for me). 
I filter on the list email address and it works flawlessly.

Indeed.  Not much we can do about that, unfortunately.  Subject is not
something we're able to change.

Personally, I've always had emails which cc'd me going into my inbox and
prefer it, but I can see the counter-argument.  There is an option in
pglister to not receive *both*, but that means that you only get the
email which is sent directly to you and I realize you'd prefer the
opposite, but I don't see any way for us to address that while still
following the DKIM, et al, rules.

Thanks!

Indeed, this depends on what you're looking to do.  Filtering on
addresses listed in the To/CC is another approach and might work for
some, but it really depends on what you want.

If you do filter on the addresses listed in the To/CC, then it would
probably make sense to turn off the 'extra copy' option in the PGLister
configuration to avoid having duplicates.

If, as I do, you'd prefer to have both and to have the emails sent
through the list end up in a specific folder with the emails sent
directly to you going to your inbox, then using List-Id is the better
approach.

As mentioned up-thread, this isn't something we're able to really
control on the PGLister side, however.

Thanks!

Stephen

Joshua,
  This does not work if the procmail recipe is for pgsql-general@postgresql.org
and the source includes the server; e.g, pgsql-general@lists.postgresql.org.
Perhaps adding '.*' in front of postgresql.org will fix this.

People shouldn't do "Reply All" unless they really want you to see the
reply.

Comparing old and new:

List-ID: <pgsql-general.postgresql.org>

has become:

List-Id: <pgsql-general.lists.postgresql.org>


Notice the case changes (from 'ID' -> 'Id') and 'lists' is inserted in
the middle.  Were both of those changes intentional?  Mail headers are
not case sensitive so good filtering software shouldn't notice the
former but everybody will be annoyed by the latter.

Regards,

Daniel

Yes, for a while both of those addresses will work and therefore you'd
need to handle both addresses (there's a few different ways you could do
that; with a regexp, I'd suggest something more specific, eg: (lists.)?
).

The general policy on this list is to do 'reply all', as there's often
people sending email to the lists who are not also subscribed (but also
because there are people, such as myself, who would prefer to get both
emails).

Yes, that's correct.

Stephen,
  Yes, I changed the postgresql recipes to have the lists prefix.

I note the conspicuous absence of pgsql-announce@postgresql.org in the
lists the Before email was sent to.  Can I assume that that list
continues under the old regime?

Is there more information available about PGLister somewhere, ie, is this a list package that other people running mailing lists might be able to use?  A net search for "PGLister" doesn't find much yet.

Hi!

Please track the thread at https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CABUevEw7Vs9Hpe-9dRWPwXDa4sPuE71BDNk2X8_UOQ%3Dhvf1tnA%40mail.gmail.com for information on that. TL/DR version is that right now it's in a closed repo, but it's scheduled to be opened as soon as somebody has had the time to go through it and make sure we're not accidentally leaking something that shouldn't be leaked.

It's open source and we'll open the git tree for it soon, but it's tied
into our community authentication system, so it's not like it's
something that would be easy to plug-n-play elsewhere.

Thanks!

That took a lot longer than expected, but at least we've had someone go through it now. And hopefully nothing was missed :)

For now, there's a mirror pushed to https://gitlab.com/pglister/pglister. We're happy to take comments and improvements!
