Using mailman 2.1.26.  I have a list that is going to be retired and I need to 
stop people from posting to the old list.  However, I don’t want to delete the 
list quite yet.  Also, I need to auto-reply to any attempted posters that the 
list is being replaced with a new list.  I have a plan but would like to see if 
I’m doing this the best way possible.

1) I’m going to put the list in emergency moderation mode so no more posts will 
go out.

2) Set Discard Held Messages to 1 day so the held messages don’t build up.

3) Configure the Auto-Responder (Auto-response text to send to mailing list 
posters.) telling them to use the new list.

Does this sound reasonable?  Is this the best way to achieve this?

Thanks,
Andy
