[Pvfs2-developers] FW: compile kernel module on powerpc64

[Sam Lang]

Hi Brad,

Does mailman let you stick in some help text in the reject message?   
Something telling them to verify that the email they sent from was  
the same as the subscribing one?

I don't think its worth trying to be more responsive to list owner  
emails.  I agree that its too much to handle.  At some level the  
process of getting your email to the list raises the bar...which  
might not be all-bad. :-)

Thanks,
-sam
