[Biopython] Delays posting to the mailing list

[Peter Cock]

Hello all,

The mailing list is still not back to normal - my email below was
sent on 13 November and did reach the archive,

http://mailman.open-bio.org/pipermail/biopython-dev/2017-November/021890.html

However, one subscriber tells me it only just reached them today
(27 November), about two weeks later. Also, our mailman server
is still dealing with a backlog of spam targeting our mailing list
owner addresses.

If any of you have experience with mailman and would like to
volunteer, please do get in touch - the OBF board can be reached
via board at open-bio.org (or in case of mailing list problems, as now,
please include obf-board at googlegroups.com as a fall back).

Thanks,

Peter
(Also on the board of the OBF as treasurer)
