Hi Antony,

I was just referring to the name of the list. The subject can have the [afrinic-xxx] prefix, it can be configured independently the default is usually the list name.

Dear Ayitey

If you look at the Subject line of the headers to these messages, you
will see that it does not include the "@afrinic.net" part.  Hence,
without an "afrinic" prefix to the mailing list's name, there is nothing
to identify it as an AFRINIC message.  As has been pointed out by
others, some of us subscribe to many mailing lists.  Getting emails from
[announce] or [service] is ambiguous.  Getting emails from
[spam-discuss] is an invitation to have them added to a kill file!

Regards
Antony

Hi,

I disagree, I think the "afrinic" prefix is unnecessary. All the lists

are '@afrinic.net' so we already know the organization we are dealing
with.

So I suggest

announce
resource-policy-discuss
service
spam-discuss

Ayitey

Dear Ernest

I would like to suggest that each mailing list should be prefaced
by
the word 'afrinic', otherwise the names could be ambiguous.  Hence:
afrinic-announce
afrinic-resource-policy-discuss
afrinic-service
afrinic-spam-discuss
No problem, if everyone else agrees..

Will we be subscribed automatically to the new lists
yes.

rgds,
ernest.
