It sounds good, but recently I am facing an issue like some of the subscribed users are automatically removed from the list every month. It's been happening for the last six months. And archive is not happening unless I run ./arch XXX (list name) Kindly help me to resolve these two issues. Regards, Malathi

Does Mailman address need to receive mail from the outside world?
by Jayson Smith 02 Aug '20

Hi, Recently I've started receiving spam at the mailman(a)mysite.net address. I've been manually discarding such mail from the Mailman moderation queue, but I'm wondering if there's any legitimate reason to allow any incoming mail to that address in the first place? If not, I could almost certainly use a milter I have installed to reject such messages at the SMTP stage and thus stop it in its tracks. Thanks, Jayson
