You entirely ignored my post to which you are supposedly replying. > Personally, I don't like my mailbox filled up with mailing list postings. Then use either NNTP through Gmane (news.gmane.org, default port 119, STARTTLS supported; and the trick to be able to post without getting treated as spam is to subscribe to the mailing list, but disable mail delivery), or HyperKitty (web interface, should just work). Since you like web interfaces, why does HyperKitty not fulfill your needs?
