LINUX GAZETTE MAIL
|
|
|
|
Customize ~/.muttrc, ~/.aliases, ~/.signature, ~/.localsig, ~/.procmailrc
|
|
as you wish. Keep these lines in ~/.muttrc:
|
|
my_hdr Reply-to: gazette@ssc.com
|
|
my_hdr From: Linux Gazette Editor <gazette@ssc.com>
|
|
If your mail is really from another address, mention it in your
|
|
signatures alongside gazette@ssc.com so people don't freak out about your
|
|
From: address being different from your envelope-from address.
|
|
|
|
Every few days, read and sort the incoming mail. lg@ssc.com is the
|
|
account; gazette@ssc.com is the public alias we advertise.
|
|
|
|
Do "cd ~/I" before running mutt. That way you can save messages for
|
|
the current issue by just giving the mailbox name (p). To save to the ~/Mail
|
|
directory for long-term stuff, prefix + or = (+mbox). To save to the incoming
|
|
mailbox, use ! (!). To save in another directory, give a path starting with
|
|
~ . or / (~/projects/MYPROJECT).
|
|
|
|
Put pending articles in "p".
|
|
|
|
Put News Bytes material in "bytes". You will send this to Mick Conry mid-month.
|
|
News Bytes material is Linux-related press releases or advertisements, articles
|
|
you'd rather link to than publish, Slashdot links, LWN links, etc. Don Marti's
|
|
Aspire To Crudeness (ATC) newsletter goes here too.
|
|
|
|
Put the Linux Journal Weekly News Notes (LJWNN) newsletter in both "ljwnn" and
|
|
"bytes". You will send "ljwnn" to Heather Stern a week before publication.
|
|
|
|
If Guido Socher sends HTML links for Linux Focus (linuxfocus.org), save in
|
|
"bytes" for Mick or insert them into News Bytes yourself.
|
|
|
|
Put messages describing a foolish/ingenious thing somebody did with their
|
|
computer in "foolish".
|
|
|
|
Put mirror-related messages in "mirrors" and send to me (Mike Orr) periodically.
|
|
(The mirror data is currently stuck in a MySQL database and I can't get the
|
|
Python driver installed. So tell anybody who asks that we are still accepting
|
|
mirror/translation entries, but it will be a while until mirrors.html is
|
|
updated.
|
|
|
|
Bounce Linux tech-support questions to linux-questions-only@ssc.com (The
|
|
Answer Gang).
|
|
|
|
Note that what looks like spam is sometimes News Bytes material. When in
|
|
doubt, save it in "bytes" and let Mick decide.
|
|
|
|
The mailing list software will also send you messages when an unapproved
|
|
message is pending on a mailing list, and when somebody (un)subscribes to
|
|
linux-questions-only, tag-admin or lg-translators. it also sends bounces
|
|
and stuff people sent to LISTNAME-admin or the software redirected to
|
|
LISTNAME-admin. You can delete bounces if you don't have time to unsubscribe
|
|
the addresses.
