I can dump out the current subscriber list from mailman. However, in my experience of running mailing lists, spammers tactics now include subscribing to mailing lists before sending their junk to the list. (This happens even with the confirmations.) So it's probably cleaner to ask everyone to resubscribe than it is to transport the subscriber list. > > I've received no requests for the archives; unless I do before Sunday, > > I shall assume no one's interested and they'll also go into the circular > > filing cabinet. > > Deleting the archives would be a nightmare, in my opinion. Not sure, > though, on where to keep or host them. If I delete the list, the links to the archive vanish. I can leave the archive sitting around, but it will effectively become an orphan. Also, cpufreq is the last real list on the machine, so after it goes, we're probably not going to maintain mailman here any longer - which increases the chance of it being lost. Therefore, I'd prefer someone else to host them. Currently, the archives are around 180MB (that's including all the pipermail data - mbox archives, html, databases, indexes etc). -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of:
