Wrong. Perhaps that mis conception was common & helped discourage CTM. In fact CTM ran fine with SVN for years. CTM is still generating on all streams that are bled across from git to legacy svn. Maybe later I or someone else will get time to revise the CTM generator scripts for git. > It's a lot cheaper to reject spam directed at its > corpse with "mailbox doesn't exist" at the gate on mx1 than to let the > message get as far as mlmmj and reject or bounce it there. Well you will now only get spam directed at those lists, no real mail fed from ctm delta gnerator scripts, so by all means pipe them at /dev/null or whatever. Only exceptions: ctm-users@ this discussion list to continue please ctm-announce@ that list is useless & should be closed (if not already) Stephen the chief ctm generator had no password to announce to it, &/or preferred to use ctm-users@ He has retired from ctm, I'm running the ctm generator, I too have no password to send announcements to ctm-announce@, so it's long been useless. > Thanks. Thanks too, Less bounces both ends now :-) Cheers, -- Julian Stacey http://berklix.com/jhs/ http://stolenVotes.uk Arm Ukraine, kill Putin mass murderer causing global grain & fuel shortage.
