(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'><hr /> <table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> <tr> <td class='online-navigation'><a rel="prev" title="7.3 How do I" rel="prev" title="7.3 How do I" href="node22.html"><img src='previous.gif' border='0' height='32' alt='Previous Page' width='32' /></A></td> <td class='online-navigation'><a rel="parent" title="7 Changing mail delivery" rel="parent" title="7 Changing mail delivery" href="node19.html"><img src='up.gif' 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" rel="next" title="7.5 How can I" href="node24.html"><img src='next.gif' 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" rel="contents" title="Table of Contents" href="contents.html"><img src='contents.gif' border='0' height='32' alt='Contents' width='32' /></A></td> <td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.gif' 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 7 October 2003.</span> </DIV> <!--End of Navigation Panel--> </BODY> </HTML>
