No, they're a mailing-list hijacker.  They "archive" your list, but
allow people to sign up via their site and post to your list, in a
"forum"-like environment.

Did you look at the headers? Really strange....seemed to come from a
spamcop.social mailing list, which doesn't exist AFAIK......

Au contraire, Pierre.

maillist <at> roomity.com is subscribed to the spamcop.social mailing list
http://news.spamcop.net/mailman/listinfo/mailman

Others who are having problems with this 'condition' can be seen here

Re: roomity.com - I have noticed that most mailing lists I take care of
have been  subscribed by "maillist <at> roomity.com".

And others.

If you want to see roomity's site, enable your browser script functions
and use http://roomity.com/home.jsp

I would think that whoever is in control of the SC mailman mailing list
might want to unsub/block maillist roomity.

Huh. Never knew that. Who'd want to get .social via a mailing list,
especially when certain, eh, "events" happen that produce prodigious amounts
of posts in here? Geeze, the volume and size of the mail must be enormous at
times! Oh, that's right, Mr. Meanie just said he gets the group that way.
Would put me off this group entirely if I had to participate that way!

So either a spammer or a certain loon subsribed us to roomity?

No idea who runs it. JT?

It is about 8000 times easier to filter email than it is to filter 
newsgroup stuff.  It was simple to filter all the stupid stuff directly 
to the trash.  Occasionally if I had to write a new rule, I could also 
apply the rule retroactively to my folder and zip, the stupid ones that 
I missed were also gone then.

And the volume and size of the mail is no different than through the 
newsgroup.  And I can delete all the ones I've read and don't need 
anymore and just keep the ones that I might possibly reply to or mark as 
unread the ones I wanted to respond to.  Much easier, especially when 
I'm traveling, kind of like now.

I can see your point about filtering being easier, but isn't it hard to
follow threads via email?

Threads?  A thread doesn't really ever last more than a few responses. 
I mean whatever subject it is, you don't need to follow it for very long 
because it will change in a few anyways.  Eventually they all turn into 
deep throating a corn dog or something like that.  Well, unless it is a 
super long one about gun control and then I usually just delete all 
those.  And generally people quote well enough so that I can follow the 
progression even if I haven't really read it all in order.  And if they 
don't quote very well, then it probably doesn't really matter all that 
much, I won't spend much time worrying about what I might have missed there.

Yeah, but it's a lot harder to do that with email than simply "mark thread
as read", ain't it?

They still thread and subthread normally by the message references.  At 
least they do in Thunderbird.  Instead of sorting by date, you sort them 
by thread and then just select the whole subthread and delete.  Sorry to 
say that once a thread starts going down the pun path, they usually 
suffer the same fate too.

There's also gmane.  See headers.

But it is a web based interface, isn't it?  I don't want to bother to 
keep track of what I've read and haven't read in a web forum.

X-Archive: encrypt

I'm testing to see if I can put an encrypt line in the first line of the
body since I can't tinker with headerlines in OE.

All things considered, some of which I don't know about how you 'do it',
the regular mailing list might be best.

I don't like web gizmos or mailing lists instead of news.  So I like
gmane when it changes a mailing list into an nntp newsgroup for me,
which I do with a local linux UG mailing list which is also a web gizmo.

The idea of changing a newsgroup into a mailing list is the exact
opposite of the direction I'm usually trying to go.

And how did "it" find us, then?  Just us, not the other groups, just .social, where
he's not wanted.  Want to take a guess?

It was also sent to the sneakemail address I use here, presumably 
scraped, so it was more than just the newsgroup.

And the mailing list does exist.  It is the primary way I read the 
newsgroup since work blocks nntp.
