I have no idea how close to "standard Mailman" my system is. It is a hosted system.

If you did, what happened. If you didn't, then do it. I went to the list info page where it says... To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the xxxxxxx Archives. The address was... http://mydomain/pipermail/mymailinglist Though I don't see that directory when I FTP to my site.

Yes, I "think" you are confirming what I am thinking of trying out. To block ("moderate") everything from Gmane and then add all my subscribers in the....
