Rick,
Let me know if you have any problems/issues/concerns regarding these configuration changes I have in mind to make to BALUG's lists:
I'd like to change the list administrator address(es) from: balugadmin@balug.org rick@linuxmafia.com to: balug-list-admin@balug.org (you and I are both included in the above alias; balugadmin@balug.org apparently hasn't existed for quite a while, and just bounces) key rationale: provide consistent presentation on the Mailman web pages about list administrator/owner address(es); we (BALUG sysadmins, presently myself and Jim Stockford) can change members of the balug-list-admin@balug.org alias at will.
Also, I'd like to set the presently null list moderator address(es) to: balug-list-moderator@balug.org Likewise, you and I are included in that alias.
Also, I'd like to change: Discard held messages older than this number of days. from 3 to 21 and change: Should the list moderators get immediate notice of new requests, as well as daily notices about collected ones? from Yes to No rationale: stuff snagged for admin/moderator is mostly just spam and occasionally non-subscriber post attempt (accidental or intentional), it's highly unlikely any such held item would be so time critical as to warrant notification to list admin/moderator more than once per 24 hours; also, since the bulk of it is notification about spam anyway ... not sure about your preferences, but I'd prefer to get notified about such less often (once per day I think I'd find rather/quite tolerable, once for every e-mail that's held, I've found to be quite annoyingly excessive). Also, though I presume we'd fairly regularly dispense with the held items, by extending the maximim hold time, we reduce the risk of possibly losing an item that might get held and be something we wouldn't want to discard.
I presume also that the admin/moderator functions can be done quite reasonably (or even preferably) via the web interface, and needn't be handled via e-mail originated with From: address of list admin/moderator.
Let me know if you have any problems/issues/concerns regarding these configuration changes I have in mind to make to BALUG's lists.
Also, I have in mind some policy tweaks to make - those were basically mentioned in earlier posting (noted below) - and they'd also be noted to the lists when the policies are actually updated.
