Hobbseeare the launchpad emails protected from spammers?02:53
mdkethat's a good question. I don't get so much spam from my preferred address, but that's just a vague sensation02:53
jelmerHobbsee: I think you can only view them if you're logged in02:54
Hobbseemdke: i'm getting *heaps*02:54
mdkeHobbsee: I get a serious amount from the ubuntu mailserver, are you sure it isn't that?02:54
Hobbseemdke: with a @kubuntu.org and @ubuntu.com email02:55
Hobbseeuh, how do they differ?  as in, bugmail and all that?02:55
mdkeyeah, that's nothing to do with Launchpad02:55
mdkeit's just that the mailserver is spam heavy02:55
Hobbseei'm not talking bugmail/mailing lists - i'm meaning spam, nigerian grants, enlargements for stuff i dont have, etc.02:55
mdkeyes, I get several hundred a day02:55
Hobbseemdke: ugh.02:56
mdkespamassassin deals with it fine02:56
=== Hobbsee wonders if the mailing list can be stopped in this nasty trait.
mdkeare you a mailing list admin?02:56
mdkethat's even worse then, most of mine comes from that02:56
Hobbseeah...no, dont think so.02:56
Hobbseei'm the admin of a team on LP though02:56
mdkeHobbsee: for the record, you should change your preferred address in launchpad, you can't use your ubuntu/kubuntu addresses for that02:57
mdkeyou need to use the account that you want that email to redirect to02:57
Hobbseemdke: it appears it's just sending to all previous email addresses in there.02:57
mdkeyes, but it is likely to break at any time02:58
Hobbseemdke: hehe, yeah....02:58
mdkeseriously02:58
Hobbseemdke: i cant.  not until i can find somewhere else to point the launchpad team mail02:58
mdkewhere is it currently pointed?02:58
Hobbseeat my gmail address, whcih is where half of my @ubuntu.com mail seems to go too02:59
mdkeso can't you set that as your preferred address?02:59
Hobbsee(emails have to be unique, etc)02:59
Hobbseenot when LP already has that address set as the team address02:59
mdkeoh, crazy, you're a person and a team?02:59
Hobbseeubuntu-universe-sponsors is a team, and the mail currently goes to me.03:00
Hobbseei can merge the person and team, too :P03:00
=== Hobbsee thinks that shouldnt be allowed
mdkeah, you definitely need to change that :)03:00
mdkeanyway, just a friendly warning: your email may break at any time and you'll lose mail03:00
mdkeI've had it from the horse's mouth03:00
Hobbseethe mail going to me?  yeah, i'm just waiting on canonical to allocate a mailing list, or however that works...03:00
Hobbseeugh, great03:00
mdkeloads of others do it like you too though, so to be fair, you are not alone03:01
mdkeapparently there is a bug in the code for the kubuntu.org redirects which means that your email hasn't yet broken03:01
Hobbseeway cool03:02
mdkeanyway, spamassassin is the way to go for your spam needs03:02
Hobbseei didnt know it was Very Bad to do, actually.  it really does need fixing - of course that mask (the @ubuntu.com) is going to be the preferred03:02
Hobbseei'm running imap mail03:03
Hobbseeand they dont use spamassassin on the server side :(03:03
mdkedo you have shell access? you can install it. Otherwise you'll have to do it locally03:03
Hobbseeno03:03
Hobbseeyeah, exactly.  once i figure out how to do that...03:03
mdkelocally?03:03
Hobbseeyeah03:04
Hobbseethunderbird is set to trust the headers, but doesnt seem to actually obey them03:04
mdkeyou just install spamassassin then configure your client...03:04
mdkeoh03:04
mdkesure SA is working?03:05
Hobbseeno03:05
Hobbseeif you could point me to a decent guide, i'd appreciate it03:05
mdkecheck the headers and see if they are being spammed up, I guess. Also check /etc/default/spamassassin to ensure it's enabled03:06
=== Hobbsee starts unbreaking
Hobbseeright03:06
Hobbseewould have thought i'd have to tell it where my email was...03:07
mdkei don't believe so, if it's client side only03:08
Hobbseeright03:09
HobbseeOK, team redirected to a new gmail address, whcih will forward to my main address :p03:10
Hobbseewhich will hopefully catch the spam03:10
mdkegood plan03:10
=== Hobbsee wishes this wasnt so buggy.
Hobbsee<whine>it all went haywire when i switched it from pop3 gmail to imap </whine>03:10
mdkeimap is great though03:11
Hobbseeit is!03:11
HobbseeOK, so should i take the @ubuntu and @kubuntu emails out of the list, or just not leave them as the deafult?03:12
mdkethe latter03:12
mdkeI have no idea if it will update itself automatically, or if it will take a while03:12
Hobbseeright03:13
Hobbseei think i broke launchpad for a while, trying that last time.03:13
Hobbseeas in, trying to change the deafult mail03:13
Hobbseehad half of the mail going to one place, half going to the other...03:13
Hobbseenow *that* was amusing.03:13
Hobbseeand annoying03:13
HobbseeOK, i've switched it over, so hopefully it wont all blow up03:14
mdkedifficult to tell, with bugmail broken and all :)03:15
Hobbseeah!  so bugmail *is* broken?03:15
Hobbseei *thought* it was odd that i only got 1 bug report in 3 or so days...03:15
mdkesince tuesday ish03:16
Hobbseeyup, that'd be about right03:16
Hobbseemdke: you work for canonical, btw?03:16
mdkeno03:16
Hobbseeah03:17
mdkeI turned from that path :)03:17
Hobbseehehe03:17
Hobbseeahhh, so you did?03:17
mdkeno03:17
Hobbseeoh right03:17
=== Hobbsee is just confused
mdkeI decided to sell my soul and be a lawyer03:17
Hobbseeahhhh03:17
Hobbseehrm ,new address hasnt been spammed yet.  *grin*03:18
Hobbseemdke: curious question here...if you're using imap - which client?03:20
mdkethunderbird :(03:20
Hobbseebut thunderbird sucks for imap03:20
mdkeHobbsee: not as badly as evolution03:20
Hobbseeahhh...i was wondering about that...03:21
Hobbseenot as bad as kmail either - that keeps crashing on selecting a message :P03:21
=== Hobbsee seems to get the problem that only the inbox gets bolded, with new mail. the other folders dont.
mdkein TB?03:22
Hobbseeyeah.  beta103:22
Hobbseecould be a beta1 specific problem though03:23
mdkepreferences, advanced, config editor, mail.check_all_imap_folders_for_new?03:23
=== Hobbsee hugs mdke
=== Hobbsee wonders why that appears not to be set by default
mdkeI guess it requires a fair amount of time/bandwidth03:26

mhbHi all ... I wanted to know whether it is wise to start a new local group for every product in LP that's going to be translated by us ( jokosher-l10n-cs, upstart-l10n-cs etc )09:19
mdkeit's recommended to use the relevant ubuntu translation team. In theory though, it's possible for you to do that09:29
mdkemhb: ^09:29
mdkeI would have thought that upstart is best translated in Ubuntu anyway09:31
mhbmdke: I guess upstart is09:38
mhbmdke: but still, I don't want to pretend it's for Ubuntu translators only09:39
mhbmdke: Rosetta has the potential of becoming a good tool for smaller projects that have their translations stored on a VCS repository as a .po file, which is rather clumsy.09:45
mhbmdke: and for such projects there should be independent translation teams ... but I agree, upstart is currently linked with Ubuntu, that is logical09:46
mdkebrb09:48
mdkemhb: yes, for established translation projects, the project groups should be used. for new ones, we recommend using the Ubuntu teams because the infrastructure is already in place and its easy10:11
mdkemhb: I suppose for an upstream project, you could have a single team for all languages... Not sure.10:11
=== BjornT [n=bjorn@clt-84-32-240-183.dtiltas.lt] has joined #launchpad
mhbmdke: well, but you can convince just one or few upstream translation teams to migrate to Rosetta, not every one10:13
mhbmdke: in a current upstream project10:14
mdkehmm. I think it's better for the project as a whole to migrate, rather than specific languages only10:14
mdkebut yeah, it's possible.10:15
mhbmdke: but that's not feasible, I know how stubborn some people can be10:15
mhbmdke: and developers actually don't care much about translations10:15
mdkethat doesn't matter, no one forces anyone to use Rosetta :)10:15
mdkethey can use it if they like10:15
mhbmdke: yes, that's what I meant ... 10:16
mdkeno problem there10:16
mhbmdke: cool. thanks.10:17
