(myposts option) </h2> By default in Mailman, you get a copy of every post you send to the list. Some people like this since it lets them know when the post has gone through and means they have a copy of their own words with the rest of a discussion, but others don't want to bother downloading copies of their own posts. <p> <span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b> This option has no effect if you are receiving digests.</span> <p> You may also want to see Section <a href="node24.html#sec:getack">7.5</a>, which discusses acknowledgement emails for posts sent to the list. <p> To set this using the web interface: <ol> <li>Log in to your member options page. (See Section <a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a> for more details on how to do this.) </li> <li>Look for the section marked "Receive your own posts to the list?" Set it to "Yes" to receive copies of your own posts, and "No" to avoid receiving them. </li> </ol> <p> To set this using the email interface: <ol> <li>Send a mail to <span class="email">LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN</span> with the command <var>set myposts on</var> or <var>set myposts off</var>. <p> Commands can appear in either the body or the subject of the message. (See Section <a href="node10.html#sec:email">3.2</a> for more information about sending mail commands.) </li> <li>Set it to "on" to receive copies of your own posts, and "off" to avoid receiving them. </li> </ol> <p> <div class="navigation"> <div class='online-navigation'> <p></p><hr /> <table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> <tr> <td class='online-navigation'><a rel="prev" title="7.3 how do I" href="node22.html"><img src='previous.png' border='0' height='32' alt='Previous Page' width='32' /></a></td> <td class='online-navigation'><a rel="parent" title="7 changing mail delivery" href="node19.html"><img src='up.png' border='0' height='32' alt='Up one Level' width='32' /></a></td> <td class='online-navigation'><a rel="next" title="7.5 how can I" href="node24.html"><img src='next.png' border='0' height='32' alt='Next Page' width='32' /></a></td> <td align="center" width="100%">GNU Mailman - List Member Manual</td> <td class='online-navigation'><a rel="contents" title="Table of Contents" href="contents.html"><img src='contents.png' border='0' height='32' alt='Contents' width='32' /></a></td> <td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> <td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> </tr></table> <div class='online-navigation'> <b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> <a class="sectref" rel="prev" href="node22.html">7.3 How do I</a> <b class="navlabel">Up:</b> <a class="sectref" rel="parent" href="node19.html">7 Changing mail delivery</a> <b class="navlabel">Next:</b> <a class="sectref" rel="next" href="node24.html">7.5 How can I</a> </div> </div> <hr /> <span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on December 14, 2009.</span> </div> <!--End of Navigation Panel--> </body> </html>
