I have been converting some lists from majordomo to Mailman, and have run into a bit of a question regarding the use of the "mailman" site list. Does anything ever send to this list, or is it expected that any human will ever send to this list?
The INSTALL file in the mailman documentation tells you to make sure you (the site administrator) are subscribed to the list. It also recommends configuring the "mailman" site list with the template in data/sitelist.cfg. This template sets the generic_nonmember_action to "reject". Therefore, if any non-member tries to post to the list, they get the usual reject message, and there is no pending message for the list owner to look at. However, the default web page generated for both http://dom.ain/mailman/admin and http://dom.ain/mailman/listinfo contains the advice: If you are having trouble using the lists, please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] Which is not possible for the user to do, given the recommended configuration of the site list. Which corresponds with the way the list is intended to be used, the sitelist.cfg configuration, or the web page message?
