Initial Comment: Mailman is used at UC Berkeley for mailing list management. Unfortunately, many students (not me, obviously) are being confused by what appears to be a standard introductory text:

"To post to this list, send your email to:"

At least two people thought that they should send their email address to the given address in order to join the mailing list, thus spamming everyone on the list.

I suggest that this be changed to:

"To post to this list, send the email to:"

Or basically anything other than what is currently standard.
