My recollection of this was completely wrong. Sorry for the misinformation. 'nomail' is a majordomo command, so I obviously confused another list with this one. The docs for the Debian list servers do not contain any information on the equivalent feature in their list software (do they run Mailman?) nor have the list maintainers responded to my questions so far. You are right in saying there is no apparent way to subscribe without getting all the list traffic. Without this feature, it is impractical to require that posters first confirm their email address. -- Seth Goodman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
