This is another test. Hi folks, I'm just testing something out.. Basically,
I was wondering if this alias:
maintainers: "|mail -s 'This is a special ports news bulletin.' `cat /usr/ports/INDEX| awk -F\\| '$6 ~ /@/ { print $6 }'|sort|uniq`"
Would work. It does, though clearly we'll need a remailing script better than
simply handing off to mail if we want to preserve the From and Subject info
from the original message. I'm sure something can be written in PERL.. :-)
The important thing is that the INDEX file is now provably useful for
sending broadcast messages to "all maintainers". We could also filter
ports@FreeBSD.org out, though I haven't bothered for the purpose of this
example.
