Nope. Essentially, the reason that I was treating it as a 'forward to users' list instead of a mailing list is because I wanted to depend on personal spam filters to keep spam out. (I don't have any way of seeing what is stopped by Nokia's spam filters, but since I get practically no spam, and have had my email published on the web for a year, my assumption is that it is relatively good.) With a mailman hosted mailing list on OSGeo, we have no spam filtering before the mail gets to the mailing list, so even if a personal spam filter would block it, a mailman list would not. > I've been impressed by Google Groups spam handling.

I haven't run these things on Google Groups before, but if the spam filtering is as good as Gmail, I would expect this would be much less of a lost cause :) > > Anyway, I'm all in favor of using a mailing list solution that meets our > workflow needs.

I'm not opposed to using something that works :) Google Groups seems a better solution than a mailman list which we lose control of. > > Since nobody has voted down the idea of an archived list, and I think the > benefits are worthwhile (having CLA archived somewhere accessible by more > than one person), I'm going forward with it.
