Easier is to set up a different e-mail address and set the list owner address to that. Then the junk just goes there instead. However, the problem is then that there is no way you can moderate the list properly. If someone sends you a message as list owner, it'll just automatically get moved somewhere you never see. Far better IMO to put some sort of spam rejection on the list server! ;-) Cheers, -- Matthew _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dev
