A private mailing list is defined to have a well known set of
members.
<br>
<br>
It's possible to configure mailman to allow messages from list
members, only.
<br>
<br>
If the list is private, and no non-member posting are allowed, how
does it require administrative work to protect the list against
spam? Spam should be non-existing in this configuration.
<br>
<br>
It's not obvious to me how moving private lists to G could be an
improvement. Could you please elaborate on this?

Thanks

<p>I don't disagree with you, but I'm not proposing we do it
Mozilla's way. Let me clarify - I did not put forward a proposal,
I've only stated the problem, we must get away from mailman.
(Note, most of our mailing lists are not private, so most of the
ARE a problem in the ways I have stated.)</p>
<p>Currently we have a mix of mostly mailman (two gatewayed to
newsgroups), discourse, and topicbox. Ryan and I have discussed
some of this in the past. I raise the issue now so we don't
forget to address it and the situation becomes dire.<br>
