Yea it is, but even as one it's not passing that much efford to the

Yea it does but someone need to check it out and well it sometimes handle
them wrongly as it can read the reason to why the mail bounced back if an
address doesn't exist or if the user exceeded hir qouta.

In this mailing list its just an alias for linux-il-admins@cs.huji.ac.il
this way all admins get it and not only the owner

at least we agree on something;)

you can take that as I'm not here enough time to vote:)

The problem seems to be , not being able to find a web admin not a mail
admin.

No you didn't but then again you are not all the discusion:) other people
talked about it:)

Ok I'll take your word for it:)didn't really try them ..
