Well, obviously, when using a mailing list, a end-to-end working mail configuration is needed. (This underlines the value of the "confirm this mail" step in the subscription process). But that said, when you have a working mail setup, it takes only a few seconds to subscribe to a list (e.g., once on a Fedora mailing list, it takes only a few seconds to add another. Maybe a few minutes, if your mail system is slow). -Chris -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
