Hrm, that sucks.  I'm not moderator for rack, and yeah, it might get
thrown out by default due to spam volume.

Nah, if a mod req isn't dealt with in 24 hours it's probably lost to the
world.  Go ahead and implement plan B at that point.

Obviously it's not sane for our primary sysadmin contact to be a
moderated-for-nonsubscribers list that doesn't get demoderated in a
reasonable time period.  The spam problem for rack@ is pretty serious
though, apparently.

Clearly we need to do something different; thanks for bringing this up.

I'll go ahead and create the list, thanks for the details and sorry for
the delay.
