[olug] [OT] Site to host a mailing list.

[Dan Linder]

I've started playing with the Google Groups and they look pretty easy to
setup.  Searching the Internet for ways to load up old list archives appear
to use a script to re-send the archives one e-mail at a time to the Google
Groups list.  Even doing that slowly sounds like a good way to get on the
anti-spam black-list with Google, plus it would take a long time (the
script seems to trickle the messages in at around one per second).

Anyone know of a friendly person inside Google that might have a way to
take a tar file of a Mailman archive (or mbox or other format) and just
dump it into the Google Groups DB?
