While going through OO.o to find out about CollabNet I found a post

software package is used for the mailing lists? If I can get some

been discussed here.
Hi Marc,
I'm not quite sure what is used but if you look at the headers "ezmlm" is
mentioned. Also note that the proprietary system (SourceCast) is very tightly
admisintered by CollabNet(the company), so even if you come up with a
reasonable and workable solutions, getting theie "product manager" to accept
it, will be a completely different problem. Louis, is there any realistic
chance that we can get any changes which can help with moderated users ?
Short answer: no. Long answer: probably, just not in the next 6 months. SourceCast (soon to be renamed for us to CollabNet Enterprise Edition 3.x) is a tightly integrated proprietary product using java to tie together various open source tools, such as ezmlm, eyebrowse, anzu, and so on, which comprise our mail system. The product is pretty much geared, as the name change suggests, to the enterprise. Open source environments have different needs, for instance, we have to deal with non-subscribed posters.
This is going to become a MUCH bigger problem with the release of OOo 2.0 and
if the situation remains as it is, many moderated emails will not be getting
CC:ed responses.
Fwiw, there has actually been a drop off in posts to users@ in the last year. We used to have over 1,000/week. Now, we average about half that. Of course, the situation is still less than ideal. I'm hoping that using tools like the knowledge base and other things will further diminish the load on this list.
