Also, I think Mailman 3 provides Pretty Good Anonymity[tm], but we welcome further suggestions. No promises about inclusion or timing if accepted, of course, but suggestions are welcome and will be taken seriously vs. resources available. ___ Mailman-Developers mailing list -- mailman-developers@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-developers-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-developers.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: https://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: https://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9

Steve is not saying the option is not provided. It is provided in both Mailman 2.1 and Mailman 3. He is giving reasons why you might not want to use it. -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
