Just re-read the msg from Florian quoted above, and the bit NoOp filtered out is: <quote> That being said, the only viable alternative for the moment was mlmmj (Majordomo is legacy, Smartlist is procmail-based, ezmlm is qmail-only; maybe Sympa is an alternative). So, at the moment, I can't do much about it. Mailman would be great if we didn't need to moderate. Florian </quote> This is significant, since, as we are agreed, the only valid reason for moderators, given their limited powers, is, in fact, being able to pass unsubscribed messages. One thing I omitted in my original reply was that a significant portion (don't ask for a %age) of the moderated posts are from regular posters who for some reason post from an address they have not registered. //James -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
