Can I take it that while this sounds good to Karl, that no one on the webteam has any time to make it a reality?

Sure, and I mentioned it in the subject but failed to do so in the body that I wonder about using such a thing for server issues. So perhaps we could have a single form with a radio list or drop down where the sure specifies the topic of the mailing that would choose the recipient: either the Board or Webteam or Box-Admins. It might be useful to have any messages related to the website or other community services to go to both the webteam and box-admins mailing lists so whoever can handle the issue best can do so quickly.

I've been thinking about something similar for the webteam list. We do get a real message from time to time but the amount of spam is overwhelming sometimes.

Related to my thread started earlier I'm no a cleanup campaign and one of the things I'm trying to cleanup are over a hundred thousand unmoderated messages sitting around that no one wants to moderate (and I fully understand since I do this job on two lists twice a week myself).
For most lists it's a relatively simple issue, reject messages from non-subscribers in the future and I delete the old messages. However there are exceptions. One of those is the Board mailing list. The Board needs to be contactable as a group. However no one on the Board has the time to look through the gobs and gobs of spam for the rare valuable message.
Craig and I spoke about this on IRC and he brought up the idea of a web form with a captcha. Obviously the ideal location for such a thing would be on www.squeak.org. Does anyone have the time to implement such a thing? I think I might be able to provide a shortcut on the captcha, so don't sweat that one too much. If you would like more information let me know or come and chat on #squeak.
Thanks!
