Hi Dave, where I am confused is the focus on Mailing-List forwarding rather than E-mail forwarding. I can't tell what the intended behaviors are.
Let's get clear: 1. If someone posts to one of the old e-mail list addresses (e.g., [email protected]), what is intended to happen? What is the observed behavior? How does this extend to use of -subscribe, -unsubscribe, -help, -owner (or their OO.o counterparts), etc. ? 2. (a) If someone sends an e-mail to an existing account/e-mail address (e.g., [email protected]), what is intended to happen? What does the individual that it current forwards to get to know or do about it? The person sending the e-mail? If the forwarding bounces, what will happen? (b) If the account is closed/deleted, what are the 2(a) answers. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Dave Fisher [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2011 20:35 To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected]; 'Joe Schaefer' Subject: Re: [ISSUE] Shut-down of all name@ openoffice.org e-mail addresses On Nov 1, 2011, at 8:07 PM, Dennis E.

Joe and I discussed doing it w/o subscriber lists. As a pure forwarder that's choice one and two. > > I hope I misunderstand the common understanding about that. You do. See my other reply. [ ... ]
