This includes but is not limited to moderation policies, dealing with trouble users, privacy issues of sensitive lists, and policy issues involved with gating mailing lists into other media such as Usenet. This group is not for the announcement of new mailing lists. comp.mail.list-admin.software This group is for discussions involved with the selection, installation, and operation of software used to manage mailing lists. Discussion of the mail transport agents sendmail or smail should be held in comp.mail.sendmail or comp.mail.smail. This group is not for the announcement of new mailing lists. Reasons: For a long time there have been active groups for discussing administration of Usenet and discussion of Usenet software, but there is no analogous group for the discussion of mailing lists. There have been various list management mailing lists, as well as mailing lists devoted to certain specific mailing list software, but as yet no Usenet newsgroups.
