I would > think the inconvenience would be greater with restriction to 1. I probably should have said "I would prefer". As to cross-posting, for a list where that is natural, a setting of 1 would not work well. As to non-member recipients, that's why I would prefer a setting of 1. I don't think--in most cases--the addresses of such people should be broadcast to lists. If their spam filtering doesn't let Bcc-addressed messages through, then a separate send seems in order. [For the address I use for this and other work-related lists, it wouldn't matter...this morning Google shows 3600 hits on the address: it was ruined years ago, before the spammers destroyed email. The address does make a nice honeypot, though.] --John ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
