I had a request from a member regarding MailMan I don't know how to answer. :(
I've never used it or looked at it.

Here is their message:

After just a few hours, my mailing list is plagued by spam, and just deleting it will take valuable time each day. I received a hint that reconfiguring MailMan as follows to use discard as the default setting on adminstrative tasks will simplify deletion of spam. Can you make this change or advise me where and how to do it?

> ])

Can someone tell me where to do this at?


hmmm . . . This isn't web hosting.
Maybe it should be in the Lounge. :rolleyes:

I think he is referring to the MailMan mailing list program within cpanel.
