#10572 Need mailing lists 'turned' off.
Closed: Fixed 2 years ago by kevin. Opened 2 years ago by smooge.

Describe what you would like us to do:

I have a couple of mailing lists which have not had any traffic and just build up 'spam' in the mailman database. Since all those entries grow out the mailman DB and mailman is slow already, I would like to see what is needed to completely clean out/lock-down some lists

epel-user@lists.fedoraproject.org
x86@lists.fedoraproject.org

Things to be done.
All subscribers removed
No new subscriptions to be allowed
No email submissions to be 'held' but just returned with a 'this list does not work anymore'.


When do you need this to be done by? (YYYY/MM/DD)

Whenever

I've done almost all of that. I am not sure if we want to unsubscribe everyone, as I think mailman might send everyone a unsubscribe email.

Otherwise, I:

set the lists to not appear in archive searches
changed the owner to 'nobody@fedoraproject.org' (/dev/null)
set all posts from members and nonmembers to reject
set list discription to ARCHIVED
set subscriptions to need moderation from the non existant moderator
