Whoa whoa whoa. b) is backwards - from the other discussions on this, you wanted to subscribe [email protected] to each [EMAIL PROTECTED], not the other way around. There is an ezmlm problem with this - ezmlm's loop-detection mechanism doesn't like it when one mailing list sends mail to another. It looks for the presence of a "Mailing-List" header in a submitted message. I think we can modify the ezmlm list directory for [email protected] to not look for this loop, but I worry that doing that would increase the odds of future mail loops through [EMAIL PROTECTED] Though, if all messages are moderated, then the chances of an actual loop happening drops. Furthermore, are we sure that we want [email protected] to be the sum of all other [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing lists? That would be a lot of traffic. I'd prefer, say, a weekly compilation of those posts... [email protected] has been a very low-traffic list so far, so if all of the sudden there were several posts a week, that could be unfriendly. Perhaps a note to [email protected] announcing any changes like this would be good. And in thinking about it, I suppose subscribing to the digest version of the announce lists if the traffic gets too high is possible.
