We are one of those sites which chose not to create the all-request alias. Instead, we created a closed announcement list to which all non-quiet list owners are subscribed. The list is used infrequently. Before each use, we run a script which extracts all non-quiet owner addresses from all list headers and submits a job to refresh the list. This approach not only enables us to control who can send messages to an address that reaches all list owners, it also provides us with an archive of those messages, to which we can refer list owners when we get the inevitable "Why didn't you notify me of ... ?" questions. -- Paul Russell Senior Systems Administrator OIT Messaging Services Team University of Notre Dame
