[DECtalk] posted. Red dwarf: Season 3, Episode 1 - backwards.

Fri Feb 25 10:57:25 EST 2005

Actually, I subscribed everybody the other night, using Mailman's convenient
mass-subscribe feature.  Only had one user unsubscribe from the list, which
I feel is pretty good.  No, I don't know how to close a list permanently.
If you login to your Freelists account, you can probably unsubscribe
everybody, then block all new subscriptions by making it a closed, moderated
or whatever type of list they call it.  Then, I think there's a way to tell
it to automatically deny any posts from non-subscribers (that's everybody
since nobody's subscribed any more) instead of asking you what to do with
them.  If, for some reason, you no longer have any access to your Freelists
account then there's nothing you can do probably.
Jayson.
