Hello,
about a year ago I asked if someone was willing to become list maintainer, and Dieter Schmitz kindly took this unpaid job. Now that he has to focus on other things, he would like to pass it on.
If you are willing to maintain the lists gpc and gpc-announce please contact me. Administration is possible either via a web interface or via commands sent by email. We are using Majordomo 2, and there is only a handful of commands you need to know, so administration is not difficult.
Being list maintainer means that majordomo forwards you all non-subscriber posts to sort out if they are spam or genuine posts. Most of them are spam (several per day), but it is important to review them all because some are genuine posts. In the last months, a few genuine posts did not reach the list because Dieter was to busy to look at the consult messages. I apologize for this. Currently I am the maintainer again but I would be very glad if one of you could take this job.
Thanks,
Anja
Hello again,

There were no volunteers. What a pity.
Within the last two weeks, there were about 30 spams per day and only 3 genuine posts that got delayed. I cannot sort them out by hand. Therefore, I changed the list configuration. Subscribers can still post. Non-subscribers get a message back which asks them to authenticate their message. It's as easy as replying (keeping the subject) with the word "accept" in the mail's body. I hope this will work well. When you write to gpc-announce you can authenticate your mail the same way.
Happy new year,
Anja Gerwinski
