Subject: No Moaners To Organisers From: No_Moaners Sender: No_Moaners@ I append http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/std/no_moaners.txt Do not complain to an organiser who announces an event on a list, eg: "You do not want mail from them, but want other mail on list from other people." It is Not Possible For Event Organiser To Arrange; Not how mail lists work, They are simple 1 dimensional lists that send to all on list, ( Not 2 dimensional matrices of eg 300 members x 300 members / 2 with a box for each = 45,000 boxes each with entries for "Person [dis]-likes person & does [not] want mail from them" ). Moaning Is Not Tolerated: Discouraging organisers from announcing events is not acceptable, the lists exist to carry event announcements. Clubs live by the effort of volunteer organisers, Occasional moaners are easily kicked off lists, rather than risk losing demotivated organisers. Compensate if you have moaned or want to moan: First raise your status from moaner to organiser, organise & announce an event to the list. Mail Filtering Individual mail recipients can specify on their own computer, a list of senders who that individual recipient will silently discard (For Unix, Linux, BSD users etc: http://www.procmail.org/ for Microsoft users I have no idea or interest.
