the bandwidth is not the problem, the mail server's speed is. I'm happy
to know you are hooked up to Internet II though, that's quite an
interesting project.
point is, like you said, you're new at this, and you don't seem (to
me) to be really interested in running it full time, am I wrong? I was
once told by Vadik that Linux-il is the busiest list on that server.

sounds wonderful, can I have such an access too?

that's what I'm trying to ease off your back, wouldn't you like that? 20
a day sounds way too high to me, doesn't listar handle bouncing by
itself?

that's the first I have heard of that Email address, listname-owner is
the usual standard, and that gets checked once a week or two, check it
out.

I never meant to insult you, and we never sugested you should make
decisions for us. being a list server admin doesn't mean you own the
list or moderate it, and it was never expected from you either.

I'd take that as a vote "yes"?

I'm worried about harvesting at plasma-gate. blocking a "who" command is
available on majordomo too.

you obviously didn't follow the discusions. I didn't complain about spam
on the list, I talked about spam to Emails harvested at the archive
site.

not sure at all, I have had an excellent experiance with them so
far. they do it for a living and letting spam in would be a shot in the
foot.
