Hi Viswa, Adding to HPN's mail >>3. Why should mails go selectively passed and selectively discarded? It is set to selectively pass only for *new members*. This is because of high SPAs, mostly trollish in nature. Unfortunately, this setting also applies when people send from their other email add

This is a test mail just to to check whether my mail is being moderated or not. Moderation is a tough task as intensity level is really high on Indian mailing list. Kudos to the volunteers like Hari, Anirudh, Prashanth and Srikanth. Regrads, Sanket Oswal. On Mon, Sep 15, 2014 at 9:59 PM, ansuman

Certainly we always would like to assume good faith with all those good samaritans. But what if most of them are busy and only a few are in charge? :( Can we then get a report or log of activities? On Mon, Sep 15, 2014 at 8:00 PM, Ravishankar wrote: > Viswam, > > List of moderators can be

Thank you so much Hari, for cleaning out this (rather) misunderstanding so promptly. As one such very early guy to work with mail list moderations (for almost two decades), I can understand the great dilemma of having to spare the extra time to maintain/moderate a busy and cranky mail list such as

Viswa, Nobody actually *controls* the list. And none of the present moderators have any real need to do that. To answer your other questions: I'm the one who got this list started almost a decade back, so I've been a moderator since. Some prolific contributors namely Anirudh S B, Prashanth N S an

With sufficient evidences, as apparent as they seem to be, I must introduce this issue to you all. The India mailing list is controlled by a few people, of whom no one ever was thinking evil. However, it is time to review and see who really controls this mail list! I request all recipients to wak
