That shouldn't be difficult. You should be able to subscribe, and then go to the Mailman page and change your delivery options. https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list """ Mail delivery Set this option to Enabled to receive messages posted to this mailing list. Set it to Disabled if you want to stay subscribed, but don't want mail delivered to you for a while (e.g. you're going on vacation). If you disable mail delivery, don't forget to re-enable it when you come back; it will not be automatically re-enabled. """ It talks about temporarily disabling delivery, but it works fine for permanent blocking, too. I run a Mailman list for the committee of a non-profit organization, and several of the members are subscribed under multiple addresses, with all but one of them in nomail mode; it lets them post from any of their accounts, without moderation delay, but not get spammed with all the copies.
