D.h. wir sind nicht mehr auf Majordomo, sondern auf Mailman. Da gibt es auch eine Seite zu: http://www.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/niederrhein-pm Ich habe vorhin die Einstellungen dahingehend geändert, dass die Seite nicht nur auf Englisch und Deutsch zur Verfügung steht, sondern auch auf Niederländisch. Vielleicht kann mal jemand versuchen, sich ein Passwort zuschicken zu lassen - und dann der Liste mitteilen, ob es funktioniert.
