I'd imagine owner-linux-aus at lists.linux.org.au or
linux-aus-owner at lists.linux.org.au. Maybe you should ask them.

Dunno - I usually block nonsubscribers on my own lists.

Mailman doesn't ship with any in stock form.

Dunno. I just looked, and this is the only linux-aus message in my UNIX
folder.  Maybe my spam filter (bogofilter) has shuffled everything else
off for me already:-)

If everyone's like you (and me) i.e. lurkers, then it will certainly look
that way.
