Hi, Thanks for all the input. I have decided that a two list setup is sufficient and now created the arch-mirrors-announce list. The new lists work like this: - arch-mirrors: Discussion about anything related to mirrors. Membership is not required for anyone any more (this includes mirror admins). - arch-mirrors-announce: Announcements from mirror admins to users. This is currently open for posting from anyone, including non-subscribers. If this turns out to cause lots of non-announcements mails to be sent to the list I will consider turning on moderation, however I'd like to keep the delay as short as possible for admins that just want to notify users that their mirror broke down. I am not creating a list for mails from us to all admins because there is really no need for you guys to keep the mailman subscription up to date when we have all mail addresses in our database. All important traffic (for mirror admins) will now be sent via direct mail. If you are currently subscribed to arch-mirrors and not interested in receiving discussion, feel free to unsubscribe. If you want to subscribe to the new list, here's the direct link: https://lists.archlinux.org/listinfo/arch-mirrors-announce Also note that the posting address for this new list is arch-mirrors-announce@lists.archlinux.org only. There is no legacy forwarding for the archlinux.org domain like there is for arch-mirrors. PS: I have also removed the mailing list footer. Florian
