Hi Nayaz!

Congratulations on replying to the automated announcement, leaving the 
entire text in, and thereby letting everyone see your password for the 
email list!  You've just given everyone the ability to change your 
subscription, unsubscribe you from the list, or redirect your mail 
elsewhere.  Unscrupulous people would also try your email address and 
password elsewhere, but seeing it's the more-or-less Mailman standard 
randomly generated one that's probably not worth doing.  Please be more 
careful next time.  Remember, replying to someone else's topic doesn't 
create a new one in most threaded mail readers.

Keep in mind this list is for questions related to use of the Red Hat 
Network, not just general questions relating to packages obtained from RHN.

It sounds like what you need is mailman.  Doing this via aliases is 
tedious in the extreme and likely to have a lot of unexpected problems.

Hope this helps,

Paul
