I closed my lost but still get notices

Hi I used to have a list that I closed (I deleted it in Cpanel). I even moved the domain to a different host. But I still get notices at the first of the month about my membership in my own list. I presume others do, and it is annoying, since I have moved the whole list over to a service like MailChimp. What could be causing this announcement and is there a way to stop it? You can see it here: …..snip…... This is a reminder, sent out once a month, about your nangoku-jiyu-jin.net <http://nangoku-jiyu-jin.net/> mailing list memberships. It includes your subscription info and how to use it to change it or unsubscribe from a list. You can visit the URLs to change your membership status or configuration, including unsubscribing, setting digest-style delivery or disabling delivery altogether (e.g., for a vacation), and so on. In addition to the URL interfaces, you can also use email to make such changes. For more info, send a message to the '-request' address of the list (for example, tokyoprogressive-request(a)nangoku-jiyu-jin.net <mailto:tokyoprogressive-request@nangoku-jiyu-jin.net>) containing just the word 'help' in the message body, and an email message will be sent to you with instructions. If you have questions, problems, comments, etc, send them to ….. http://nangoku-jiyu-jin.net/mailman/options/tokyoprogressive/ ….. …..snip…… Thanks for any help in this.

Rejecting emails with certain types of attachments
by Titus von der Malsburg 01 Mar '16

Hi list, is it possible to automatically reject emails that have attachments with certain MIME types (e.g., application/msword, …)? Since there are so many types of files that are unsafe, I also wonder whether it is possible to specify a white list of safe MIME types (e.g., application/PDF) and to reject everything else. Is that possible? I did some searching but only found solutions for automatically stripping attachments, which is not what I want. Thank you, Titus
