Just started using mailman (2.1.4) and can't find good answers for the following questions in the documentation. They may have been answered already on this list, but unfortunately the archive isn't searchable.
1. how to make a "one-way" mailing-list for sending out newsletters to customers etc.? One way which works seems to set it on "emergency moderation". However, this means that still all list members can send to the list and the message is piled up for approval. I would like to have all messages rejected right-away except those coming from certain specified addresses. (and these few would need to get approved additionally, of course.) I'm used to this system from Majordomo. Is there a way to do this? 2. how can I set a list to not reveal *any* information about itself? I think I used all ways the web interface provides, but a member of a list will still get a response to "info". 3. same question for the "lists" command. The list is gone from https://domain.tld/mailman/listinfo and /admin (I guess that's "advertised = no"), but a "lists" command still shows it as one of the public mailing-lists available on the server, with all data the lists command usually reveals. Is that a bug? 4. I'm able add a "virtual host" and create a new mailing list for it via web interface which will only show in the listinfo if entered via the matching virtual host. However, I don't seem to be able to achieve the same for already existing lists via web interface. Setting the host_name doesn't seem to have an effect for this. 5. are there config files in human readable format? I can only find some pck files which seem to be in binary format.
