<p>You received the message, so you are on the list, and therefore

<div>I'm happy to offer the same 'service' that I offer
PLUG, regarding domain registrations to any Australian
Linux/Unix user group. I'll register the domain through my
business wholesale account, and that way it's always
automatically renewed and paid and I just invoice the LUG
the cost of the domain (rounded up to the nearest dollar,
so $10, so I can tell the ATO I am /trying/ to make a
profit). Many years ago we had this recurring issue with
PLUG domains expiring due to there not being a PLUG credit
card to have automatic renewals setup on, and just having
an individual put their card on the line was a little more
than people wanted. At one point we used prepaid cards,
but they expire and also people forget to topup the funds.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As long as the LUG eventually pays the invoice, I'm not
concerned, and I can pester them once a month until it's
paid. For many years I just donated the cost of PLUG's
domain instead of bothering with invoicing, but I no
longer make money with my business, it's just there to
give non-profits access to cheap domains and webhosting.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Who am I to offer this? Many many many moons ago I was
the PLUG president, technically still am a PLUG system
admin, and now my involvement is mostly just lurking as
having a family doesn't leave as much free time (and I'm
rural to Perth).</div>

reading the LUV president email. Email about the expiry <br>
of <a href="http://luv.asn.au" rel="noreferrer
noreferrer" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">luv.asn.au</a>
have been going to the president mailbox since April and
now the <br>
domain is suspended. I'm CCing this email to the Linux
Australia list because <br>
probably a lot of LUV members won't get this message
through the LUV list due <br>
to the expired domain.<br>
<br>
The LUV committee list receives almost no email, the
committee seems entirely <br>
inactive in aggregate. Presumably Andrew Pam will renew
the domain (as he did <br>
last year) after my monitoring system detected that the
domain was suspended <br>
(as it did last year) due to President email not being
read and it not being <br>
renewed in time. I'm putting this in a public email
because I don't want to <br>
be falsely accused of being responsible for this debacle
as I was last year.<br>
<br>
If LUV is going to run effectively it needs someone to
volunteer to read the <br>
president email. It gets an average of 2-3 spam messages
per day which is <br>
probably not much compared to the spam that slips through
most of our spam <br>
filters.<br>
<br>
Most of the LUV president spam comes from the web contact
form. The contact <br>
page could be changed to not have a form for submitting a
message and instead <br>
refer to a Matrix address or something, it's easy to
change. While I've <br>
generally given up on all LUV sysadmin tasks than the
minimum needed to keep <br>
things running I would be happy to change the contact page
to something that <br>
will get a response for people who want information (IE
anything other than <br>
going to a mailbox that hasn't been read since early
September 2021).<br>
<br>
Finally one thing that should be considered is moving the
LUV mailing lists to <br>
the Linux Australia server. The latest version of Mailman
is a major pain to <br>
run and the older version is deprecated. It doesn't seem
likely that anyone <br>
will volunteer to give the LUV mailing lists the attention
that's needed to <br>
get them running properly and the LA lists are maintained
properly.<br>
