Re: [BLUG] how to receive my own posts on this list?

Hah, it's just the difference between how much you value an enormous tech company not having detailed information with which to target ads to you and the time and money cost of rolling your own mail server and setting up effective spam filters.

I for one welcome our robot overlord. :)

 That would be an annoying feature if it can't be disabled. Sorry you
have to deal with that. How much does gmail cost again? ;-)

I've been playing with ownCloud (starting with the easy part). So far I like it. No more unlimited space, but we can't have it all ....

Right on.  Once I finish grad-school, one of the items on my TODO list is looking into the feasibility of a personal mail server.  There are a number of details to figure out, of course, (including is it worth it given the hordes of spam!) but de-googlification is the main reason.

Cheers,

Damn. I, too, find that annoying. Thank you for that find. That makes
strike two of Gmail with lists. (Given my first thread here, and now
this, is it obvious that is the first time I've used Gmail with lists?)

Thanks mate,

Yet another reason for me to get moving forward on the de-googlification of my life.

This is a common point of confusion with gmail and is a "feature" I sure wish they would get rid of (or at least make optional).

Hi BLUG List,

I've noted in the two threads in which I've recently participated that I
am not receiving my own posts to this list.  I prefer to receive my own
posts because I use that as a check that the list did in fact receive my
email.  I believe I've checked the right bit:

     http://www.list.org/mailman-member/node23.html

And, in line with this rather-outdated-but-perhaps-still-relevent
thread, I do _not_ send include myself in the CC:


https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2004-December/041340.html

Does anyone have any clues why I might not be receiving my own posts?

Thanks,

Kevin

Hey Kevin, this is a gmail "feature" whereby it doesn't show you your
own posts to mailing lists "to save you time and prevent clutter". More
details here:

This is a common point of confusion with gmail and is a "feature" I sure
wish they would get rid of (or at least make optional).
