Because of the high volume of traffic on the 44net list as of late,
Jann suggested creating an announce-only moderated list. That list is
now online at 44-announce(a)mailman.ampr.org. It's separate from this
list, so subscribers to 44-announce only won't see all the traffic on
the 44net list.
https://mailman.ampr.org/mailman/listinfo/44-announce
All postings to the 44-announce list will be held for review and
approval by the list moderators, so there will be some delay in message
distribution. I anticipate very low volume on that list.
I've set 44-announce to be a public list. The list will show up in
the general mailing list index on the
mailman.ampr.org machine, and
the archives of the list will be available publicly so it's likely that
various search engines will index them. I've had significant problems
resulting from this policy in the past, but those were non-moderated lists
so maybe this will work better. The list of subscribers is not public.
Note that whether a list is public or private, fake names can subscribe
and harvest poster's addresses from postings and use them for spam.
Not much I can do about that if we're to still have the option of replying
to the individual poster.
It's a new list, so please be patient while I tune the parameters.
