List information
Hello all,
I have a somewhat embarrassing confession to make, which is that in the course of a switch of email providers, I lost the administrative passwords for the blosxom mailing lists. What this means in practice is that I can no longer approve posts from new members. (We require the first posting from a user to be moderated because a high fraction of such posts are spam.) I've tried to contact Sourceforge support to regain or reset the passwords, but they have given me no response. I'm not sure what the best course of action is at this point. If someone were motivated, I imagine we could once again migrate to a different mailing list provider (Google Groups?). Or, given the extremely low traffic on the lists, we could simply accept the situation as it stands currently and declare the lists (and blosxom?) in retirement. Or maybe someone has a third idea.

Is this seperate from the adminstator acces to the blosxom porject at SF?

But please not to Google. I'd prefer to solve the issue without having
to change the list address again, anyway. But if we have to, I'd
rather move to a less privacy-ignorant service provider.

Well, there was quite some peak recently.

I refuse to do either of it.

Will try to see what I can do with my admin access to the project.
Kind regards, Axel
I though remember
that this is not the first time I ran into this, but I can't remember
where I saw this before.
I remember just that one of the blosxom-users mails were from someone
called Simon Schaefer...
I also unset the moderation flag for all users whose e-mail addresses
indicated a special address for mailing lists or open source projects
as well as all those I know personally (/me waves to m3).
All others may contact me to get the moderated flag removed.
Kevin: I just have no idea how to send the new password to you. I'd
prefer GPG encrypted mails for that but 'gpg --search-keys
Scaldeferri' didn't yield any results. For now I added myself as admin
of the lists, so I get those mails, too.
Kind regards, Axel
