Thanks, you're right. We used to have a filter that only accepted mail
with 'XEP' in the title, but that seems to have been lost with the
migration. Hopefully the new version of mailman still supports such
functionality...
It does and I can change the list configuration.
Also, there are only two people (me and Kev) on the list - presumably a bunch of folks got
dropped during the big mailman outage. Do we even need the list?
I think there's value both in using it as a spam filter with the mentioned
rule, and then having the archive available for when Editor changes hands, or to confirm
that something wasn't dropped, etc.
Not a hill for me to die on, but as long as there's an Editor I'd rather it was
kept than dropped.
