Right, but I wonder if I send a mail to all the *-owner lists. Maybe the Reply-To would be munged and the threads will diverge. I think it's much safer just to grep for all the admins and send a mail directly. > For reaching the site admins for a given mailman installation, you > typically use mailman@$domain, e.g. mailman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > The sitewide address is given on the main mailman page, which is also > linked in the footer of the listinfo page.

Ok, I don't mean to offend, but what is there to do for a ml if not moderate messages? Changing the settings? That's not really much work at all IMO. In any case, there has been only speculation about the amount of moderation that would need to be done, right? In my experience it's pretty easy to spot spam mail, so even without spam filtering I think the job of moderating should not be that hard. You could put me as moderator to give a try, there can't be much damage to be done. In the worst case I would discard good mail as spam, but that's what the system has been doing all along up to today. If it really seems to be too much work, then the exercise can be cancelled. BTW. I'm noticing something wrong in the Reply-To header of this mail (two times the ml) -- Felipe Contreras -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
