Site admins (the people who install the software) have to have root privileges. Nothing can be hidden from them. The only way to protect your data from them is to send it encrypted with a key they don't have. But it's hard to imagine why you would use an anonymous list, or any mailing list, hosted by people you don't trust enough to give them the keys, to send mail to people you know and trust well enough to give them those keys. The basic motivation for encrypted lists is avoiding the key distribution problem, either because it's annoying or because the point of the list is that the subscribers are not to know each other at all. _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
