(How) Are these lists maintained?

[Frank Heckenbach]

Sorry if this question is a bit off-topic in the list, but how are
these lists maintained? Or, are they maintained at all?

Because of a problem with spam filtering (see below), I wrote to
<address@hidden> twice (25 Feb, 8 Mar) and till today
(2 months later) I didn't even get a reply. Also the serious (IMHO)
problem with phishings in the archives I mentioned below still
exists.

I've now let the MLM kick me out, and subscribed again from another
address with a differently set up spam filter, though only to this
list (no more to help-bison and bison-patches), and I might
unsubscribe again. BTW, if there will be any questions or issues
about my (few) contributions, feel free to contact me by PM as I
might not read it on the lists.

: According to your archive the messages are indeed phishings

: etc.).

: So apparently our mail server rejects some malware that got through

: this and other lists, as I don't plan to disable my spam filter.

: BTW, the archive even seems to display the messages in the phisher's
