So, it sounds like people would like filters for each distro? One for Off-topic and one for beer meeting stuff? TOPICS FILTERS ------ ---------------------------- Debian debian(?i) Slackware slack(ware)?(?i) Fedora/Red Hat fedora(?i) red(?=hat)(?i) RH Mandrake mandrake(?i) Gentoo gentoo(?i) Beer Meeting beer.*(meeting)?(?i) OFF-?TOPIC, OT off-?topic(?i) OT The regular expression matching rules for the filters are listed in the Python 're' module[1] and the Regular Expression HOWTO[2]. The '(?i)' at the end of the expression makes the filter case insensitive. I believe you can "cross-post" the topics. E.g. Let's say my problem involves both the linux kernel and Debian. My "Keywords: " header would read "Keywords: debian, kernel". There is also a user-based option to accept or reject posts that don't match any keywords. IOW, if someone really wanted to be blind to all miscellaneous traffice, (s)he could do so. Take a look at your options for the list[3]. They're explained pretty well there. NOTE, if you don't explicitly subscribe to anything, you'll receive everything. I'll email the list owners to request the above filters to be added.
