[RndTbl] Gmail spam filtering super-aggressive lately

[Bill Reid]

Hi Hartmut,

When I was admining the Muug mailamn list I had the list set to the way it is 
now. It is the Mailman default. The goal is to save personnal emails to the 
sender from flooding the list. We did change it to make the default 
reply-to-the-list since we had similar complaints as yours. I guess at some 
point Mailman was changed back to the default. For small lists it does make it 
more conversational.
