I'll do more visual inspection on my most troublesome list.

Hi mailman-us...@mail.python.org
I recently moved 50 lists from majordomo to mailman (succesfuly, thanks :-).
Question: Under majordomo I had various pairs of lists, eg
event-announce@
Large list, low traffic, event announcements
none but organisers could post.
event-org@
37 matches
