I'll copy this to the list, though if you're already on it probably doesn't
matter as much.

the majordomo@globalgarden address is useless due to excessive spam (it
tries to make sense of the email, and tries to send back help).
All subscription/unsubscription requests should be sent to
chile-heads-request@globalgarden.com or
chile-heads-digest-request@globalgarden.com for the digest.
All authorizations should be sent to the same address -- not to
majordomo as the message says (I'm trying to get that message changed, but it
takes some time).
Another problems is that all bounces and requests sent to
owner-chile-heads end up in a mailbox that gets 1000-1200 spams a day. I've got
filters cranked way down to deal with this, but I still miss some messages. I
generally check the missed (marked spam) messages once a week or so (yes,
7-10,000 messages).
The good point is that I haven't seen any of this spam on the list
(there are about 300-400/day aimed at the list that are rejected - again back
to my owner-chile-heads mailbox).
Thanks
Mike
