Hi Everyone,
If you are receiving this email then you are listed as the owner of a
mailing list hosted by the fedora project. We've had a lot of messages
sitting in the heldmsg queue in mailman. This is where messages that are
being held for list admin or moderator approval go. They sit there
FOREVER until someone discards them.
With this in mind we'll be instituting a 1 month age out for these
messages. If a message is in the heldmsg queue for longer than 1 month
the message will be discarded.
Most of these messages are from people (or spam bots) who are not
subscribed to the list. If you would rather that messages from addresses
not subscribed to the list were rejected instead of being held for
approval, this is a configuration option in the mailing list admin pages
available to you, the list owner.
If you have questions on how to set that up please feel free to contact
the fedora infrastructure folks.
Is disk space so expensive these days?
Rich.
