The way most people keep up to date on network news is through subscription to a number of mail reflectors (also known as mail exploders). Mail reflectors are special electronic mailboxes which, when they receive a message, resend it to a list of other mailboxes. This in effect creates a discussion group on a particular topic.
- E. Krol; The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet; RFC 1118; Sept. 1989.


Seem's the first "bitnic listserv" is dated from 1984 ! More than 34 years ago !


Just as a reminder, we are now in 2018 ... something called the XXI century ... with 4G, optical FTTH connection, smartphones ...


Should'nt be time to move away from an old mail-listing to something more modern like a bugzilla or else ???

As an example, with a bugzilla, you dont have to dig in n*thousands of "unread" mails,. You can organized, have a clear view with a dashboard... and so on.

And bugzilla is just one possibility.


Since augusth 1st:

I received around 12 familly mails, 62 pro-mails, 147 spam/pishing/bullshit mails

Between all the debian mails list who exist, i receives  also 168 emails.

I have maybee read 20 of them, and deleted all the others...


Too much informations, help, news, updates .... simply making those listing useless !


I have sent the following emails, received zero anwsers. With a "modern" system like a bugzilla/forum/tracker/else and their moder options, i can know how many peoples have read it ( 23 answer for 9876 readsfor example ) ... with the mailings list, how many people took relly the time to read it ( as i direct-delete most of he amils i receive ) ...


with your "no" spirit, we would still have an horse and wagon like my old-old-old grandpa !

you are free to move to a city where they drive electric cars. good luck

You can't simply replace something working, while people are using it. It is
enormous effort with consequences you can obviously not imagine. At the end
nothing is for free, so who will pay for all the work? Or how will you
motivate someone to move the mailing lists to something else, that even you
can not guarantee that it will work?

think of those

You could consider unsubscribing from this mailing list with
List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:debian-user-request@lists.debian.org?subject=unsubscribe>
and, instead, reading the archives with
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/recent>
whose postings are usually not many minutes behind.

Cheers,
David.

Are you aware that bugs.debian.org exists already?

I get more mail than that before breakfast. If you've got the
right tools, it's easy to deal with.

1. Spam filter. Spamassassin is good. If you can add greylisting
to your mail server, you should try that, too.

2. Automatic mail folders. The only mail that ends up in your
inbox should be mail that your ruleset is not certain about.
Each mailing list should get its own folder. Maildrop is easy
to learn.

3. Indexed mail searching. Whatever works with your preferred
mail client. Have cron run a re-index every morning before you
wake up.

4. Mail threading in your mail client. If it doesn't do threads
properly, time to change clients. I like mutt.

Who cares who read your mail? Only the answers are important.

This isn't "No", this is "Why are you insisting on the
superiority of a tack hammer in all circumstances when we have a variety
of tools available? Including a torque-calibrated power driver
that works much better on the bolts you are trying to hammer."

This is an excellent point.  Many of the people who lodge complaints
like the one that started this discussion thread have chosen very poor
tools and thus have conflated the failings of those tools with some
non-existent inherent problems with mailing lists.

Serious email users should be using mutt, which is fast, compact,
resistant to attack, and has an astonishing number of features.
Those who receive large volumes of mail should be using procmail
to pre-sort it, and they should be aware of RFC 2919 (and thus
the existence of List-Id) as an excellent means for doing so.
These two tools in combination make dealing with large amounts
of traffic to large numbers of mailing lists quite easy.

Furthermore, everyone using mailing lists should be maintaining
their own archive, simply because there's no reason not to.  The
storage required is small by contemporary standards and doing so
allows the use of local search tools (e.g., grepmail) which can
invaluable in locating relevant messages.  (Those who haven't
been doing this can usually backfill by downloading the archives
maintained by the site running the mailing list.  in turn, everyone
running a mailing list should take care to see that those archives
are fully accessible, unredacted, and downloadable on demand.)

Should should should. And furthermore, too. Crikey! Have any toothpaste
recommendations for serious carnivores? I feel like ripping something
apart with my teeth.

To expand on that with my own personal prejudice -- the people using
these "sub-par" tools are also the ones who're the cause of some of the
existent (modern?) problems with mailing lists.

Namely:

 - HTML Messages
 - Not wrapping messages at ~80 characters
 - top posting

Guess I'm not a "serious" email user then.  Half the time I'm still
using Tbird.

Not familiar with procmail.  A quick perusal of the manpage seems to
indicate this is a local mail "processor" for sorting things, as opposed
to say something on the mailserver itself?

It is easy to delete posts so egregiously presented that reading them is
too much trouble. (When I return from a week out in the country, every
month, there's usually over 1200 emails waiting - down to half that after
procmail has done some weeding. So a post should also chop out all
quoted text not explicitly related to the reply, if it is to be read in
the time which can be given to it.)

Having moved to mutt between 15 & 20 years ago, I've found it powerful
and highly configurable. It'll see me out.

And then with the list mailboxes arranged in order of interest in
"mailboxes" line(s) in ~/.muttrc, they are presented in priority order.
If domestic management, kids, or walking the dog intrude, then it's
automatically the less important emails which must wait for another day.

Yup. Details on how to direct its filtering/distribution are in the
procmailrc manpage. Its development stabilised some time ago, and those
of us who use it are very content with that.

I would not recommend procmail for new deployments. Its configuration 
syntax is obscure, it's no longer maintained, and there are better 
options available. maildrop is a good choice, with a very simple 
filtering syntax. sieve is another option that's a bit more complex but 
capable of being managed via a gui in a mail client.

Yeah, and if we all do that, the people who don't know any better don't
get any help. :)

Not that I don't delete (or otherwise outright ignore) the exceptionally
bad mails.

I have it for my "main" email account - but still use tbird for
alternate accounts.  It's just "easier" to see all the mail there.  That
being said, I have taken steps to make tbird behave properly.

So, if I'm understanding you correctly, it'd end up doing the same
thing as sieve is already doing on the mailserver (or perhaps a
secondary pass for things sieve missed).

Correct.  Procmail uses a set of rules to decide what to go with messages
presented to it; those rules are usually based on the contents of message
headers, but don't have to be.  For example, for this mailing list:

	:0:
        * ^X-Mailing-List:.*<debian-user@lists.debian.org>
        /home/rsk/linux/debian-user

Translating, this means that any message which has the specified header
will be appended to the file named in the last line.  (It would be nice
if the debian lists complied with RFC 2919 by using List-Id, but at least
this header works and is consistent throughout.)  The small regexp in
there is present because the functional part of the header is the text
in angle brackets; any text preceding it is for human consumption,
and may change (or not be present at all).

A typical usage pattern for procmail might be something like this:

	mail server -> fetchmail -> procmail -> mail client

In other words, a program like fetchmail is used to retrieve mail
(via POP or IMAP) from a mail server.  Fetchmail hands off each message
to procmail.  Procmail decides what to do with each message, which usually
means filing it. [1]  The user can then read each mailing list by pointing
their mail client at it.  This also accumulates a per-mailing list
archive (in mbox format), which is useful.

This is a highly scalable, very robust setup for anyone who has to
deal with lots of mailing lists or with correspondence involving diverse
groups of people.  It scales to thousands of rules (I have 3000+ as
of this morning), it executes quickly, and because procmail is careful
to Do The Right Thing even under adverse circumstances, it's rather
tolerant of configuration errors.  Happily, most mailing lists now
support RFC 2919 (or at least something functionally equivalent,
as we see here) so it's not often necessary to craft procmail rules
based on other headers.

---rsk

[1] Although it could also mean forwarding it, duplicating it, discarding
it, etc.  For example, there exists a mailing list called "outages", which
is used to announce and track outages of networks and other operations
of interest.  If you're subscribed to outages and have a particular
interest in certain ASNs or operations, you can easily craft a procmail
ruleset specific to those that (a) files a copy of the message as above
and (b) upon a relevant Subject-line match, submits a duplicate copy of
the message to an internal ticketing system so that it becomes visible
to operations staff, and so that it can be tracked in the same way as
other trouble reports.

I used to use procmail a couple decades ago, then I switched to Debian,
and Debian installed exim by default, and I started using exim to sort
my mail instead.  My corresponding rule is:

if $h_X-Mailing-List: contains "debian-" then
  save $home/Mail/deb/
  finish
endif

No translation required.  (And I prefer a single mailbox for all my
debian lists, which is why I just match on "debian-" instead of the full
name/address of the list.)

And maildrop says:

if (/^X-Mailing-List:.*debian-/:h)
    to $home/Mail/deb/

although I would recommend sorting each Debian list to a
different folder.

Hm? The Debian mailing lists I'm on *do* have List-Id; that's how I
filter them into folders on my end, although I do it via Thunderbird's
built-in filtering mechanism rather than via procmail.

I use Thunderbird as well. Only I have set up a separate email account 
special for getting mail list messages, ads, etc. What I do then is set 
that account up to use collapsable threads. I delete all threads I don't 
think I'd be interested in and then keep the threads I think I want to 
read. I'm only on a couple Debian lists though (Security announcements 
being one, and this one and I think News). This Users one has the most 
activity but it really isn't too much trouble for me.

I also set up my email check to once every 720 minutes (12 hours). This 
way I'm not getting popups every 10 minutes that there's new messages 
while I'm trying to work or watch a tutorial video full screen or something.

All the Debian lists I'm subbed to have a List-Id header.  Maybe they
didn't in the past, IDK....

Thanks for the explanation.  At some point I may have to look into it in
more detail -- although since I run my MTA (well, at least for the mail
that matters) that does sorting serverside, might not do me any good.
