Why isn't this type of message in the qmail-subscribe auto-generated
reply? I have suggested this many times myself, and seen many other
people suggest it as well. Simply pointing out this kind of thing and
linking to the major sources of documentation would save a bundle of
time and emotion. Of course, one could also point out that having the
list message-moderated with a couple of good moderators in a couple of
opposing timezones would significantly increase the signal to noise
ratio.
