[SC-L] Administrative: whitelisting on SC-L

[Kenneth R. van Wyk]

Hi SC-L folks:

I don't mean to intrude in the "bug and flaw" debate, but I do want to make 
sure that you're all aware of the whitelisting that I'm doing on the list 
these days, since I switched the list management from Majordomo to Mailman.  

Specifically, in order to cut down on spam, I have Mailman set to drop any 
posting sent from _any_ address that is not explicitly subscribed to the 
list.  That means, for example, if you subscribe via an email exploder or 
alias at your site, that your submissions get automatically /dev/nulled.

The solution, for anyone that wants to post and is subscribed similarly to the 
above scenario, is to subscribe your personal address and set it to NOT 
receive SC-L postings.  That way, your mail alias/exploder will continue to 
function as you set it up, AND you'll be able to post.

Since I get ZERO notification when messages (mostly spam) are dropped by the 
whitelist, I have no way of knowing who is in this situation.  So, if you 
want the ability to post, drop me a note and I'll be happy to set you up with 
a no-mail subscription.  (Don't worry, you won't/shouldn't get duplicates.)

Cheers,
