For the record. I'm in there too.
In fairness to the OP, he may not be aware of this, but I wish people could understand that autoresponders, mandatory white lists and so forth are not compatible with mailing list participation.

Thank you for your clarification. I had no idea - why would I? - that signing up for a mailing list would generate all these individual e-mails coming in from people, as opposed emails coming from the list itself. Had I known that - given that I am using my ISP's spamblocker software - would have never signed up.
Using Mailman - as opposed to some of the other popular list programs has turned into a giant headache. I understand that it is complex and has many parameters, but I did not think it would cause so much trouble. Now I understand why our subsribers are so unhappy with it.
I am signing off this list with apologies, I did not intend to trouble you. I am also immediately starting our migration off Mailman.
BTW, I participate in a number of mailing lists on Yahoo and never had the this happen to me. All the mail - whether individual or digest form - come from a single source, which is enabled on my spamblocker to get through.
