Although when the lists are added to Gmane, an auto-generated notice *is* sent to the list-owner address explaining what has happened and giving them the option to easily opt-out by replying to the notice. It's possible in the Mailman case that there was some technicality that prevented this notice from being sent, or that the people raising havoc about this issue here weren't MM list-owners when the lists were first added to Gmane (years ago), and therefore didn't get the notice. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
