Good use of the site list?
Hi,
Is there a way to make a good use of the site list? It seems that it is just a representative list for all the other actual lists in a system. Nobody can use the list to notify the site admin. Of course it is possible to send an email to <site_list_name>-owner@example.com to notify the site admin but it would nice to use it to notify the site admin instead of using <site_list_name>-owner@. Especially, the site list is advertised on the front page of the main list website like "If you are having trouble using the lists, please contact <site_list_name>@example.com." but any sender gets the reject email from this email.
So, I like to use it as an representative mailing list to the users who have subscribed a mailing list or more in my system so that they can send an email to the site admin without having to subscribe it.
Is it possible?
Regards,

The primary purpose of the site list is to provide the address from which password reminders are sent. However, the site list is also exposed on both the listinfo and admin overview web pages as an address to write to for help.
It is recognized that the generic defaults are not appropriate for the site list. Thus, a config_list input file is provided in data/sitelist.cfg to configure the list more appropriately although it still may not be appropriate for all uses.
See section 8 of the installation manual <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/site-list.html> which discusses configuring the site list.
