Hello,
Yes, I'm still alive, just a bit in the background: currently managing the mailing lists for example, and these last months, it's quite anoying since a few months:
1 N Mar 11 966 Phpmyadmin-users admin request(s) waiting 6 N Mar 11 999 Phpmyadmin-news admin request(s) waiting 7 N Mar 11 1033 Phpmyadmin-devel admin request(s) waiting
99% of these requests are mails from virus/anti-virus software, replies from bad configured mail autoresponder, mailer-daemon replies, etc.
SF's mailman interface is not practical at all in such case: http://omnis.ch/stuff/pics/pma-mailman1.jpg : default action is "defer": so it is necessary to click on "discard" everywhere, but I can't spend one hour every day for this very interesting task.... :)
What would you suggest? We could rename the lists, or move them to another server, but this way we would lose the subscribed user list...
Suggestions welcome :-) regards, Olivier

Renaming the list would only be a temporary relief since the spam flood would start again soon. Moving to another server won't be much better unless the software is easier to handle.
What about a forum like phpBB?

a few months after yes, but not at the beginning.

sure: I would have suggested ezmlm.

yuk, forums are worse than mailing lists :) (having to click & wait to ready every message and reply...)
Ok, the waiting queues are now empty, thanks the "mailman-discard.pl" script found on: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=762601&grou...
Please make sure to use the mail address you used to subscribe to post on the lists.
cheers, Olivier
