[lvs-users] Admin - list needs a new home

[Graeme Fowler]

Hi folks

After something like 7 or 8 years hosting this mailing list, I’m sorry to say that I can do so no longer. I’ve been running down the number of online commitments that I have for personal & time reasons, and this list is the last one I’ve been hosting for other folks.

Is there anyone on the list who’s reasonably experienced (for which: has run an instance successfully) with GNU Mailman who would be willing to take this list on?

The list currently has a shade under 1200 subscribers; it isn’t very high volume these days as long-term subscribers will be aware *but* because it’s been around for a long time it does attract a significant amount of spam. As a result there is a daily moderation task to check the held message queue for messages sent by non-subscribers and release any which are valid list content. Perhaps unsurprisingly, most of the time the held messages are all spam - in the last 21 days there were 44 held messages, of which only one was valid list content.

So… Would anyone like to offer their services?

Regards,

Graeme
