7.4 How do I stop or start getting copies of my own posts? (myposts
	option)
</h2>
By default in Mailman, you get a copy of every post you send to the list.  
Some people like this since it lets them know when the post has gone through
and means they have a copy of their own words with the rest of a discussion, 
but others don't want to bother downloading copies of their own posts.

<p>
<span class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b>
This option has no effect if you are receiving digests.</span>

<p>
You may also want to see Section&nbsp;<a href="node24.html#sec:getack">7.5</a>, which discusses 
acknowledgement emails for posts sent to the list.

<p>
To set this using the web interface:

<ol>
<li>Log in to your member options page.  (See Section&nbsp;<a href="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</a> 
	for more details on how to do this.)
</li>
<li>Look for the section marked "Receive your own posts to the list?"  
	Set it to "Yes" to receive copies of your own posts, and  "No" to avoid
	receiving them.
</li>
</ol>

<p>
To set this using the email interface:

<ol>
<li>Send a mail to <span class="email">LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN</span> with the command
   <var>set&nbsp;myposts&nbsp;on</var> or <var>set&nbsp;myposts&nbsp;off</var>.

<p>
Commands can appear
   in either the body or the subject of the message.  (See
   Section&nbsp;<a href="node10.html#sec:email">3.2</a> for more information about sending mail
   commands.)
</li>
<li>Set it to "on" to receive copies of your own posts, and "off"
	to avoid receiving them.
</li>
</ol>
