<pre wrap="">Hi all,
I just joined the group officially today. Been on the mailing list for a little bit longer. After joining I have a few questions:
1.) Mail Server
On the member page it says :
Mail sent to your PLUG email address (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:alex@plug.org.au">alex@plug.org.au</a>) is being delivered to your PLUG home directory. You can read it by POP3 or IMAP to mail.plug.org.au, or by logging in to a PLUG machine and using mutt.
I have tried to configure an account on my mail client however it does not seem to connect. Is there anything special I need to do. I tried the default ports with and without SSL. At one stage I was asks to accept a certificate for plug.labyrinthdata.net.au rather then mail.plug.org.au. I accepted it in any case also this is something we should address. </pre>

Possibly broken, needs looking at! ;) Mail runs through Pot. One of
the options with Shameless is perhaps we move member email addresses
to @members.plug.org.au, or get Pot to also read from the Postgress
DB and do some dynamic aliasing (along with the few static ones on
there, including the integration of Mailman that happens there).<br>

<pre wrap="">2.) Incoming mail
I then decided to email myself and got a bounce back.
<alex AT plug.org.au>: host plug.org.au.s9a1.psmtp.com[74.125.148.10] said: 550
5.1.1 <alex AT plug.org.au>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local
recipient table (in reply to RCPT TO command)
Is this supposed to work, or is this a work in progress.
</pre>

<br>
As above, possibly broken; Probably should be generated out of the
Postgress database. Needs looking at! ;)<br>

3.) Mailing list moderation
I am still being moderated on the mailing list.

I think I got that - you're subscribed as plug@j2, but you're
posting from alex@j2, so since they are different email addresses,
they get held, but I've just added your alex@j2 address to the
accept list, so that shouldn't delay any more...<br>

4.) Discussion
Being new I am still finding my way around. Is there a place where us pluggers hang out. I had a look on the IRC and Mumble channels, but didn't find anyone. If there isn't that is not a problem, just thought I better ask than miss out.</pre>

IRC is the main place to loiter; Mumble if you're having an active
chat. We've been using Mumble for Committee meetings recently and
found it quite effective (and beats driving across town). Mumble has
"rooms"; some we have pre-defined, others you can probably make on
the fly. Mumble is available via IPv6 and IPv4 (as are all services
on Bath). If you're not familiar with Mumble, think "teamspeak", but
open source, and using the very good CELT codec
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.celt-codec.org/">http://www.celt-codec.org/</a>). Highly recommend headphones at minimum
(reduce audio feedback to others), and headset (with mic).<br>
