Long answer: The rule I go by, is if you are on the list, then you can send to the list.
You received the message, so you are on the list, and therefore can reply if you want.

I'll register the domain through my business wholesale account, and that way it's always automatically renewed and paid and I just invoice the LUG the cost of the domain (rounded up to the nearest dollar, so $10, so I can tell the ATO I am /trying/ to make a profit). Many years ago we had this recurring issue with PLUG domains expiring due to there not being a PLUG credit card to have automatic renewals setup on, and just having an individual put their card on the line was a little more than people wanted. At one point we used prepaid cards, but they expire and also people forget to topup the funds. As long as the LUG eventually pays the invoice, I'm not concerned, and I can pester them once a month until it's paid. For many years I just donated the cost of PLUG's domain instead of bothering with invoicing, but I no longer make money with my business, it's just there to give non-profits access to cheap domains and webhosting. Who am I to offer this? Many many many moons ago I was the PLUG president, technically still am a PLUG system admin, and now my involvement is mostly just lurking as having a family doesn't leave as much free time (and I'm rural to Perth).

Email about the expiry of luv.asn.au <http://luv.asn.au> have been going to the president mailbox since April and now the domain is suspended. I'm CCing this email to the Linux Australia list because probably a lot of LUV members won't get this message through the LUV list due to the expired domain. The LUV committee list receives almost no email, the committee seems entirely inactive in aggregate. Presumably Andrew Pam will renew the domain (as he did last year) after my monitoring system detected that the domain was suspended (as it did last year) due to President email not being read and it not being renewed in time. I'm putting this in a public email because I don't want to be falsely accused of being responsible for this debacle as I was last year. If LUV is going to run effectively it needs someone to volunteer to read the president email. It gets an average of 2-3 spam messages per day which is probably not much compared to the spam that slips through most of our spam filters. Most of the LUV president spam comes from the web contact form. The contact page could be changed to not have a form for submitting a message and instead refer to a Matrix address or something, it's easy to change. While I've generally given up on all LUV sysadmin tasks than the minimum needed to keep things running I would be happy to change the contact page to something that will get a response for people who want information (IE anything other than going to a mailbox that hasn't been read since early September 2021). Finally one thing that should be considered is moving the LUV mailing lists to the Linux Australia server. The latest version of Mailman is a major pain to run and the older version is deprecated. It doesn't seem likely that anyone will volunteer to give the LUV mailing lists the attention that's needed to get them running properly and the LA lists are maintained properly.-- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ linux-aus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux.org.au/mailman/listinfo/linux-aus To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to [email protected] _______________________________________________ linux-aus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux.org.au/mailman/listinfo/linux-aus To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to [email protected] _______________________________________________ linux-aus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux.org.au/mailman/listinfo/linux-aus To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to [email protected]
