Question #157154 on mailman in Ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mailman/+question/157154 Status: Open => Answered Mark Sapiro proposed the following answer: Just 'chmod 000 lists/LISTNAME', and when you want to re-enable the list, 'chmod 2775 lists/LISTNAME'. If the list has public archives and you want to disable access to them, 'rm archives/public/LISTNAME*'. When you re-enable the list, these symlinks will be automatically recreated when you access the list. Depending on your MTA, you may want to remove the list's aliases. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is an answer contact for mailman in Ubuntu.
