Excellent, thanks Jim. >> For our other lists ( -announce and -update) emails from unsubscribed >> addresses will simply be discarded. That's fine. >> Is it the CVS server that emails notice of updates & commits to >> gnumed-devel, or do these come from some other address? >> If that address is not subscribed, I beleive I can "whitelist" it in >> mailman so that legitimate update emails will still be accepted. I once had a script running on gnu.org which sent regular update reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I will try to re-activate this, although its less important as we now have CVSMonitor These mails come from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" gnumed-announce is a low-traffic list for major feature announcements. It is reasonable that only the adminstrator post to this list.
