FAQ

Can you please configure the mailing lists so that Reply mails the list?

The administrators of the GnuCash mailing lists are of the belief that Reply-To munging is harmful. Please encourage the authors of Your Favorite Mail Client to respect List- headers, or train yourself to use the "Reply-To-All" command (available in every email client) when ever you want to reply to all parties; note that this works even on CC'ed / non-mailinglist email, too.

When I try to browse or subscribe to the mailing lists, my browser warns me it's unsafe. What's up?

The GnuCash project uses a self-signed digital certificate to protect your access to the mailing lists site at [1]. This is necessary because the site asks you to type in your email address, and maybe a couple of other things when you sign up. The project doesn't pay to register the digital certificate with a Certificate Authority, and as a result, web browsers don't recognize the certificate and think it's unsafe.
