[Mailman-Users] Automatically reject - how?

[G. Armour Van Horn]

Greg, (and other who have said similar things),

There's this tiny little problem with that suggestion. From the website link to
"Mailman 2.1 info" I find this:

Current Version

Version (2.1b2, released on 05-May-2002) is the current development release of
the next version of Mailman. Although, stable, it should not be used in
production environments. Instead, please use the latest stable release.

Since manually clearing these messages is hardly a problem for a test site, and
according to the developers this version isn't ready for a production site, the
upgrade doesn't solve a significant problem. I'd love to take advantage of 2.1,
but as one who too-quickly installed 2.0.12 and shut my lists down I'm waiting
until a week after the developers consider it ready to run.
