[Outages-discussion] Outages lists configuration thoughts

[Andy Ringsmuth]

Good morning all,

Yesterday’s AT&T flub again showed the need for us all to be much more deliberate about how we use the outages and outages-discussion lists.

I’m not sure off the top of my head who is responsible for the overall setup on these lists, or I’d reach out to that person/people directly.

Having said that, can we PLEASE consider setting the “Reply To:” default for the outages list to be outages-discussion? That is definitely an option within the Mailman list configuration.

That would eliminate an insane number of extraneous (and very very long) messages for those of us who use the outages list as a notification source for immediate attention, which I believe to be the intent of that list. I’m looking at one message posted to outages yesterday that was a reply to a reply to a reply to a reply to a digest message. 513 lines of text!


Thank you for the consideration.
