You are joking right??
This is totally bogus because you mailed it to a public mailing list
which is subscribed to by an unknown set of individuals including
automatic archiving systems, mailing list to news gateways etc...
As a public mailing list, you don't have the right to say what you
are saying above.... it is a public list...
As a result of your posting to the public mailing list "redhat-list",
your message WILL be archived, forwarded and desseminated and
redistributed without your permission and there is basically nothing
you can do about it, especially legally... You don't own the mailing
list, nor is the list setup as a private list.
In fact, your message has already shown up on one of the web based
mailing list servers www.egroups.com. They have it as 87852.html,
don't have direct URL for it but it already there...
One of the main purposes of a mailing list is to do exactly what you
are attempting to stop. Only if the mailing list itself is setup as
a private lists and states it as such would you have any possibility
of control...
If you want to enforce such a statement, you would have to send the
message to a specific person rather than a list of unknown
receipients. The only other solution you have is to not post
messages to the list.
