Mailman List Mirror (Read Only)
1

Something else that needs to be considered is blowing up the list (making
smaller, distributed lists). It takes hours sometimes for mail to go through
the distribution.

Sometimes, I'll post, and I'll get four, five, six replies before I see my
post to the list bounce back this way. It takes hours. :frowning: Too long for a
list where sometimes time-critical information is discussed.

doing this on purpose to limit the list and basically destroy the good

that develop here. I generally lurk and learn more than stating my opinion and
would not be to happy with the demise of the list...

I hate to be off topic, but if you received a copy of the SPA spam about
piracy and FTP servers, please forward a copy to me, with headers if
possible. I don't mind receiving a hundred or so copies. This would have
been sent on or about Nov 12th, with a subject of "SPA piracy notice"

Obviously, the list is/was being attacked. Some of the names
here are obvious targets for the pro-spammers, booted customers,
etc.

I'd prefer a moderated list, but only in the sense that you have
to be a list member in order to send email hence spam elimination
is pretty much done and said unless someone on the list spams
the list.

You can do this in majordomo by appending ",nobody" to the outgoing mail
alias on the resend alias line. (With nobody == /dev/null)

Everyone - thanks very much for your suggestions. Keep 'em coming, but
please send them to me personally, rather than to the list. We're working
on a solution and will be back in touch within a day or so. Thanks.
