+9.1 How do I make sure that my post has the right + topic? +

+ +

+When a list administrator defines a topic, he or she sets three things: + +

+ +

+You can view this information by logging in to your member options page. + (See Section 3.1 for more details on how to do this.) and +clicking on the ``details'' link for any topic that interests you. + +

+To post on a given topic, you need to make sure that the +Keywords: or Subject: headers in a message +match the regular expression for that topic. +A regular expression is a pattern which may match more than one thing. +Regular expressions can actually be fairly complex, so you may want to +just ask the list administrator if you don't know how to make +heads or tails of the expression given. + +

+If you really want to know more about regular expressions, read on, but for the +most part, your list administrator should include in the topic description what +you need to add to your Keywords or Subject line to match the topic pattern. + +

+Most Mailman topic expressions will be fairly simple regular expressions, so +in this document we will simply give you some common examples. Regular +expressions are a bit too complex to teach in a few lines here, so if you +really want to understand how the regular expressions work, you should +find a tutorial or reference elsewhere. (For example, DevShed has a decent +tutorial at +http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/Administration/RegExp/) + +

+Here are some examples of possible regular expressions and matching lines: + +
