PS. I had mailman not advertised by default but some Debian update a

First, advertised or not, it is well known that every Mailman 2.1
installation has a site list, usually called mailman. Also the
mail...@example.com address is exposed on both the listinfo and admin
overview pages in the web UI.
What are the recommended steps?
It depends on how your MTA deliveres to Mailman. If it uses aliases, you
can change the mailman-request alias in mailman's aliases, but if
Mailman automatically generates these, that may get undone. A better
approach is to put an alias for the mailman-request and maybe other
mailman- addresses in an alias file that is processed before Mailman's
aliases or delivery. You can use these to send the mail to /dev/null or
to some user or mailbox if you want to see the mail.
So how can I make a alias for all mailman- addresses that go to /dev/null?
mailman version 1:2.1.23-1+deb9u4
# /usr/lib/mailman/bin/genaliases --help
Regenerate Mailman specific aliases from scratch.
Does not give me much useful informaiton.
Kind regards,
