Absolutely zero miss-understanding here. Because this delete duplicates cannot be turned off, gmail is about as worthless as tits on a boor hog for mailing list use, precisely because you never get the message back proving it made the list. So the un-aware keeping pinging the list trying to get a reply from the list. Tain't gonna happen and eventuatlly somebody will point out, in unpleasant language, that yes, we seen all 4 of your messages, but apparently nobody wants to do your homework for you. I've a gmail account too, don't use it precisely for that reason. People suggest you train your email agent to save a copy in the list folder, but that to me doesn't prove it was actually seen by the list subscribers. Perhaps it can be so trained. By I am not enough of a Christian Scientist to think I could believe with 100% certainty that my mail actually was seen by the list unless I SEE a reply FROM that list. Any ISP worth their daily salt, really should have & maintain their own email server, and I consider that as part and parcel of the monthly fee I pay for the net access. Unfortunately for some, their popcorn & peanuts ISP sees that as a huge headache because of all the UCE, so they, when they get a chance to farm that whole problem off to google for x bucks a month, they are just propagating the problem onto their unsuspecting customers. I bitch because my own ISP has done that, nearly 2 years ago. So I don't use that alias anymore than for personal stuff. Fortunately for me, I have a lifetime account at my former employers, who have maintained their own mail server since 1999 and while doesn't use any such rules. Not very well filtered, spamassassin kills 100+ UCE's on an average day and lets 250 more pass. But they get fed to sa-learn by a cron script, so spamassassin is gradually getting smarter. Moral of the story IS: Don't use gmail for a mailing list. Period. > _______________________________________________ > Linux-audio-user mailing list > Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
