How to turn off delivery of all postings but still allow to post to this MailingList?

How to turn off delivery of all postings but still allow to post to this MailingList?

[Ben Stover via cygwin]

After subscribing to this mailing list I get all postings here as individual emails.

I prefer to read answers (and other postings) on a web page like

https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2017-09/

So I need not individual emails delivery.

How can I turn it off but keep the permission to post?

Is there a way to post to this MailingList by NOT sending an email to cygwin@cygwin.com?

Alternatively a solution to receive answer emails to only my personal questions would be fine as well.

Thank you
Ben

You could try Tryst:

http://github.com/svnpenn/tryst

Right now it only works with Gmail, but it could be easily modified to support
other email clients - it is just an Awk script.

I believe your can send an email to 'cygwin-allow-subscribe at 
sourceware.org'.

See [1] for more details.  I guess this could be mentioned in [2], 
rather than having to read the qmail manual to discover...

Unsubscribe and confirm if requested, wait a bit, then send a blank email to:
<list>-allow-subscribe-<local-address=domain-address>@cygwin.com
where list is cygwin or one of the other list addresses, and "=" replaces "@" in
your email address.
Quite a few folks used this approach to read and post on Gmane before it dropped
its web interface.
