I think we have this solution before we moved to ASF. We had deltacloud-users list and deltacloud-devel list. Problem was that the users list was very low traffic (basically 1 mail per month). I would prefer to use filters/folder to filter out JIRA and tracker mails. Also I think JIRA could be configured to not spam the mailing list and just send mails about issues that your are subscribed to. But I have no problems with creating a new mailing list as well, if others think it will be benefitial. -- Michal > > > marios > > > > Regards, > > Dies Koper > > > > > > > > > -- Michal Fojtik <[email protected]> Deltacloud API, CloudForms
