[OT] subscribtion with no-mail option?
Hello anyone,
is there an option for the pgsql lists to subscribe only for posting
and not receiving messages? I can read them in the archives, but the
<pgsql-general> is one of the most active lists I am subscribed to.
Not even <debian-...@lists.debian.org> can beat that.
(there I can whitelist me, without receiving messages)
Oh, I should say, that I live in Estonia far away from any lelephone
land lines, hence no DSL availlable and I am on GSM/4G/LTE and if I
would not have the NO-MAIL option, I would need to download more the
3000 messages a day where I am only interested in less the 5%.
Note: I am currently programming a new PHP-Webinterface for my mail
server which let me better choose, what I want to se and what
not, hence deleting anything which is not relevant to me and
has not some keywords in it.
It is just worse, that I have to be subscribed to more then 80 mailing
lists only to be able to post 200-300 messages per month and get maybe
2000 messages back, but have to download more then 100.000 messages a
month with more then 1000 MByte. THis is just waste of resources and
is very costly over the time.
There is no benefit for the mailinglste except for my ISP and Telecom
provider which bill me nicely... more then 100€ per month!
Thanks in avance
Michelle

I don't think that it's possible, but why don't you open a free gmail
account or another web-based email service that's available in your
region/language and subscribe to all of the mailing lists through that
account?

Hello Kumar,
On 2017-12-26 01:11:23 Rakesh Kumar hacked into the keyboard:
Well I do recollect the option in the old mailing list to not email any
postings. IIRC, there were following options:1- Email every messgages
2- Daily digest of messages
3- No email of any message.Option (3) can be used for only posting. I did that for some time.
When I was subscribed some years ago, it was easy, but the option is now
missing. The Internet became realy crap... Sourceforge, PostgreSQL...
everywhere you must create accounts to access mailinglists!
Then every month, Sourceforge unsubscribe me from the lists and I have
to re.subscribe.
Subscribtion per EMail not more possibel.
It is really annoying!

Yes. The button is labeled "Disable mail delivery".
You can manage your subscriptions, including disabling delivery, for the lists
that have been migrated to the new system at https://lists.postgresql.org/manage/ .
Cheers,
