[Mailman-Users] feature request

[Steven Jones]

Hi,

It is an emergency mailing list that only gets used in a major emergency,  19000 subscribers.  We dont really care who subscribes but we dont want "important" ppl un-subscribing and then complaining they didnt get teh emergency email down the track.



regards

Steven

Probably betrays my ignorance of the OP's needs, but I'd have thought:

1) tracking who joins is more interesting than those leaving
2) client side filtering (including automated discarding) allows the
administrators to save their sanity ...

So I find the described request slightly surprising. Kudos to Mark for not
pushing back on this basis ... but perhaps the OP can provide a little more
context for why this would be a generally GoodThing.
