[Schulman, Andrew]

Hi. I've been trying to get someone's attention on the problem of how to allow users to post to the cygwin-apps mailing list through gmane.  I wrote to cygwin-apps-owner first, then postmaster.  That was two months ago, and I've had no response.  Can you please help?  Thanks, Andrew

Hi.  This morning I sent the message below to cygwin-apps@cygwin.com, and it was rejected with the message "Sorry, I've been told to reject your posts."

The message From header was

From: Andrew Schulman <schulman.andrew@epa.gov>

That address is subscribed to the cygwin-apps list, and I use it to post there regularly.  This message was different though, in that it came through Gmane.  In Gmane I posted a message to the gmane.os.cygwin.applications group, and Gmane forwarded the message as email to cygwin-apps@cygwin.com.  That's what Gmane does.

Do you know why the message was rejected, and whether that can be fixed?  It would be nice if we could post messages to cygwin-apps through Gmane.

Thanks,
Andrew

Gmane users can now post directly to cygwin-apps as a newsgroup
(gmane.os.cygwin.applications).  You no longer have to send email to
cygwin-apps.  You still have to be subscribed to the list, though.  Andrew

NB this is not part of the standard list documentation ('cause
there are only two or three lists set up like this).

You need to add one or two options to ezmlm-make to specify a list with
only-list-members-may-post and approval-needed-to-subscribe.  You can look
at the man page, or look at /qmail/lists-sourceware/cygwin-developers/config.
The first line of that file shows the command line options that were used to
create it.

 (NB this is the 'old style' config file -- the lists that have been created
  recently have the options used in lower case and the options not used in 
  upper case.)

No, unfortunately this is integral to the way the list is set up at the 
beginning and needs to be done by a system admin.

It looks like we need another mailing list for discussing the porting
and maintaining of applications on cygwin.

Can I ask some kind sysadmin type person to set up a cygwin-apps
mailing list?  It should be set up exactly the same as cygwin-developers,
i.e., only subscribers can send email to it and subscription requires
approval from me.

I can't remember if this is all possible using ezmlm remote administration
commands.  If it is possible, I'll deal with that part.

Can someone set this up for me?

It looks like we need another mailing list for discussing the porting
and maintaining of applications on cygwin.

Can I ask some kind sysadmin type person to set up a cygwin-apps
mailing list?  It should be set up exactly the same as cygwin-developers,
i.e., only subscribers can send email to it and subscription requires
approval from me.

I can't remember if this is all possible using ezmlm remote administration
