First of all, thank you so much to Amir, Legoktm, and everyone else involved in this migration. Top notch!
I have another question about "Spam, etc". Old Mailman had a XXth century UI for processing spam with a gazillion options. Now we seem to have only three: "Accept, Reject, Discard". While "Accept" is clear... can someone explain the difference between Reject and Discard, please? Wiktionary alone didn't help. :) On Sat, May 8, 2021 at 12:05 AM effe iets anders <[email protected]> wrote: > With the new mailman, I'm really excited to see global bans.
