Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started.
1) First of all, his is filtering of a list, not censorship. 2) I do not want to be a captive audience for commercial appeals and I'm concerned that the moderator will have to spend time weighing the merits of each commercial announcement. Is it sort-of commercial? blatantly commercial? newsy and commercial? Discuss.
