The Mac Ministry List was created to help Mac-using missionaries who had little access to technical support. Over the years, it has grown into CMUG's (now CATUG’s) online community forum. Join the conversation by subscribing.
Around January 2011 there were two Mac Ministry mailing lists, but these were merged back together on February 20.
Mac Ministry List
The list server software was upgraded to a new program, known as Mailman, on February 19, 2011 with the aim of creating a more reliable and flexible list to serve this community's membership in the years to come. Please read "Letter from the CMUG Board" for more information.
To subscribe and receive individual e-mails, click this link and send the e-mail it creates.
To unsubscribe from the list, click this link and send the e-mail it creates.
Alternatively, or to change your options e.g. to a single e-mail digest of messages, use the new web page for subscriptions:
As a member, to send a message to the main list, email mac-ministry@lists.macministry.org as before. Members who prefer a shorter address may use mac-min@catug.org.
Filtering your emails
To filter your emails into a separate folder, a simple rule for subject lines containing "[Mac-Min]" will continue to work as it has in the past. However, this would mix off-list replies sent to you into the list traffic.
A more specific way to filter Mac-Min messages is to filter by Mailman's "list-id" header. All messages sent through Mac-Min will have a list-id header that contains "mac-min_catug.org.catug.org" (without quotes).
In Apple Mail, if List-id is not in the list of fields that you can use in Rules, then select Edit Header List.
This brings up the Message Headers window; click on the + tool at the lower left, and add List-id.
After this, you will be able to use List-id in the same way that you could already filter on From, To, Subject etc.
- Filtering in Gmail
Gmail supports filtering on List-id, see here. Enter the following in Gmail's Has the words field:
- listid: mac-min_catug.org.catug.org
Archives
There are no online email archives of the List. This is intentional, and preferred by a significant number of CATUG members. Instead, this Wiki was set up partly to serve as a repository of some of the best advice which may be of lasting or wider value.
Admin lists
The CATUG Board and Ops Board have separate lists for administrative matters, to save stuff of a boring or technical nature from being sent to all members.
