[Listwork] [Fwd: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender]

[ana]

hi,

i do not know mailman unless as a normal admin... but i can help with 
content, so here is my proposal for friendly text to send to frustrated 
senders:

===================================
dear,

the list to which you are writing has been supressed due to lack of use. 
if your query has to do with the middle column of the page 
www.indymedia.org, please email www-features at lists.indymedia.org 
indicating the title of the article you want to talk about.

If it is not, could you please note the region of the world to which it 
belongs? Then look up in
http://lists.indymedia.org and do a search (menu - edit - search in most 
bowsers) for that region and write to the appropriate list.

If all this fails, you can email imc-process at lists.indymedia.org, where 
in theory there is a liaison off all indymedias, and they will be able 
to answer your mail.

thanks for your intrerst!
=========================================

the wording and the alternative lists are only proposals, of course; and 
once every one agrees i can translate it into spanish.
