Title: Can I hide my Mailman list to make it less vulnerable to abuse?

Question: Can I hide my Mailman list from the list of public lists at the
UW in order to make it less vulnerable to abuse?

Answer:

If you would like your Mailman list to not be published on the list of
public lists at

	http://mailman.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/

you can change your list's privacy settings.  To do this, log on to the
administration page at

	http://mailman.u.washington.edu/mailman/admin/listname

where "listname" is replaced with the actual name of your list. Once you
have logged in with your UW NetID, select the "Privacy Options" link under
"Configuration Categories."  The first setting asks you if you want to
"Advertise this list when people ask what lists are on this machine."  
Just set this to "No" and click on the "Submit Your Changes" button.
