I created a test forum to play with (dlang-test) and then i edited the mailing list options.
since it wouldn't let me leave the mailing list address blank, I pasted in the e-mail address that I received messages from the list from. this turns out to be a mistake as this is causing nabble to forward the messages to that list and is creating a loop of messages. but since I don't have another address to send it to, and I can't leave it blank, I don't know how to fix it? I'm going to test setting it to a bogus address and see what happens, but what should I have done? |
You should be able to stop the loop by setting a different email address (maybe an old address that you own). If you still have problems, please post the link to the app and I will fix it. Soon we will add a button to that mailing list settings interface to delete the current configuration.

I did that for now, but it gives a big warning about sending the message
to the list. this will work for now (I'm just doing testing so it really doesn't matter much how badly I mess things up) David Lang On Thu, 19 May 2011, Hugo <Nabble> [via Nabble Support] wrote: > You should be able to stop the loop by setting a different email address > (maybe an old address that you own).

the link to the list is http://dlang-test.1051270.n5.nabble.com/ if you get a chance to clear that
is there any way to set a subject prefix ( i.e. [listname] ) without connecting to an external list server? David Lang |
Do you want me to delete that mailing list configuration? Please confirm. No. But do you want to force a prefix in all subjects? The feature we have removes the prefix from the imported messages so that the archive can look cleaner. |

Please confirm. yes please. it turns out that there are other things that don't work right with it just set to a dummy address. > dlang wrote: >> >> is there any way to set a subject prefix ( i.e. [listname] ) without >> connecting to an external list server? >> > No. But do you want to force a prefix in all subjects?

I want to force a prefix on all outbound e-mail, even if the person subscribes through nabble. by the way, I'm not seeing an obvious guide to using this, am I missing something? David Lang |
I removed that mailing list archive configuration. Feel free to put it back if you want to. You will be able to change this when we release the templates feature. At this point, the "from" name in outbound emails have a suffix like "[via Nabble Support]" to let users create filters in their email client apps. We don't have an up-to-date guide on how to use the website. We try really hard to create features as intuitive as possible and avoid the need of tutorials and guides. Users can look for answers in this support forum. |

Ok, in that case I won't feel as guilty about asking when I can't figure something out :-) David Lang |
The idea was to release templates this month, but we are busy upgrading our servers. This is a very important upgrade because we will create hot standby databases that can survive a disaster without data loss. So I assume templates will be available in two or three weeks. |
