Sure, if the people who administer the list also administer the mail system upon which the list depends.

Perhaps your ire would be more usefully directed at them, since they're the ones that control whether mail to the list is filtered for viruses, spam, etc. AFAIK, the list operator has no control over installing Mailman, filters, or other abstruse bits of MTA configuration. The list is unmoderated for a reason; IIRC, moderation is about the limit of control "we" (tinw) can exert over mail processed by Sourceforge. > Is there an administrator or moderator for this list? > Mailman has really easy filtering options, I'll bet my kids > could figure it out..... Sure. Now all your kids have to do is get hired on as sysadmins for Sourceforge ;) -- Bob ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
