No. - There's no automatic individual linkage between eg http://mailman.berklix.org/mailman/admin/test/privacy/spam & list member entries in eg http://mailman.berklix.org/mailman/admin/test/members - Privacy options are controlled by admin, not list members. For multiple reasons in http://berklix.org/~jhs/help/majordomo/#harvested the intent is to Avoid burdening admins to waste time for indivduals, turning their discard bits off & on. - Intent is to empower members to disable & enable their personal discard options when they choose (perhaps just enabling for a few minutes if they normaly just read a list & rarely have something to post) . Those who still continued to emit spam could be removed as before, but admin would also instead have the extra option of enabling list member's Enable Transmit Discard, & it would be in the right place where list member could personaly, without admin help Disable again to post, if wanted. Summary: In eg http://mailman.berklix.org/mailman/admin/test/members/list next to column "mod" there would be a 2nd column eg "self discard". - "mod" would as before be set by admin to block & store for review. - "self discard" would discard posts from member, set by member.
