Re: Confirmation for subscribe linux-kernel

[James Miller]

Did anyone else onlist get this email asking if you tried to sub to the
linux-kernel list?  I did, even though I did *not* try to sub to that
list.  The headers seem to indicate that the message was sent to the
linux-newbie list from linux-newbie-owner, which makes me believe that
probably everyone onlist got it.  If so, why?  Is this a mistake on the
part of the list admin, an indicatation that the list has been hacked, a
sick mockery of our paltry tech prowess, a result of the northeast power
outage, or what?

Someone (possibly you) has requested that your email address be added
to or deleted from the mailing list "linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org".

If you really want this action to be taken, please send the following
commands (exactly as shown) back to "Majordomo@vger.kernel.org":

	auth XXXXX subscribe linux-kernel linux-newbie@vger.kernel.org

If you do not want this action to be taken, simply ignore this message
and the request will be disregarded.

If your mailer will not allow you to send the entire command as a single
line, you may split it using backslashes, like so:

        auth XXXXX subscribe linux-kernel \
        linux-newbie@vger.kernel.org

If you have any questions about the policy of the list owner, please
contact "linux-kernel-approval@vger.kernel.org".

Thanks!

The walls of spam that would have resulted if they succeeded :P

Looks like it's been prevented.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.  But I don't think that's how
it works.

You would have had to have sent a command something like:

	subscribe linux-kernel linux-newbie@vger.kernel.org

That's not an accident.  So I'm assuming you didn't do it.

Majordomo is designed to handle multiple mailing lists, so it's
entirely okay to send multiple commands in one e-mail to majordomo,
like:

	subscribe linux-kernel
	subscribe linux-newbie

You can respond to the confirmations with a single e-mail as well, by
combining the required confirm commands into a single e-mail.  And if
you're in the habit of putting a sig block at the end of your e-mails,
you can even tell majordomo to ignore it by inserting an 'end'
command after your commands to it.

I don't choose majordomo for the mailing lists I administer, but I
have to admit, it has some cool features.

Confirmation for subscribe linux-kernel

[Majordomo]

--

Someone (possibly you) has requested that your email address be added
to or deleted from the mailing list "linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org".

If you really want this action to be taken, please send the following
commands (exactly as shown) back to "Majordomo@vger.kernel.org":

	auth 2243b61e subscribe linux-kernel linux-newbie@vger.kernel.org

If you do not want this action to be taken, simply ignore this message
and the request will be disregarded.

If your mailer will not allow you to send the entire command as a single
line, you may split it using backslashes, like so:

        auth 2243b61e subscribe linux-kernel \
        linux-newbie@vger.kernel.org
