@fedorov Okay, guilty as charged! I think I figured out how to turn off nabble and added a link to here. @lassoan for now I only added the auto-responder and (unless you all got the message above) it only goes back to the original poster. I see your point though about letting posts go through. I…

I don’t have access to any of these services but I agree these would need to be done. I think it should be possible to block new posts to the mailing list and set up an auto-response. @pieper You told 1-2 weeks ago that everybody was busy with a grant renewal - maybe now you could find some time to…

Does anyone have experience or suggestions for best configuring mailman to be read-only?

Someone with admin access should be able to edit the landing page templates to remove the signup links, and post a link to discourse. There are various posts around about how to go further, but that one should be an easy start.

By the way I’m not sure who set up the nabble interface and I didn’t look into turning it off.

Thanks Steve, this should help. What happens if somebody sends an email to slicer-devel@bwh.harvard.edu ? Does it get posted (sent to all subscribers)? Is the auto-response sent to all subscribers? I think it would be important to block posting of new messages because those would just clutter the …
