It's not a problem for me to move lists (I would prefer to let people resubscribe to filter the "dead" subscribers). But, I would like really to keep the universal e-mail address like alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx rather than alsa-devel@vger or alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx). Actually, the old ALSA server cannot be configured to filter e-mails using spam-assassin (the hardware simply cannot handle it) and SF appearently uses sender verification (it does not accept e-mails from hosts not having SMTP server installed and with broken SMTP HELO hostnames). For immediate solution, I would suggest to moderate list (but I haven't time to do it) so I'm asking here for an volunteer (or volunteers). I will send them the list administration password on SourceForge. If everything happens well, I will switch the ALSA server to a XEN virtual server with Spam-Assassin in few weeks. So the possibility to filter out spams will be greatly increased.
