Having them sent to the PSC list, which never gets moderated, would be a problem :)

The PSC list gets about 200 spam emails a day; I abandoned fixing the queue a long time ago. (A couple other people -- Erik included, I believe -- get the 'you have moderated messages' messages daily, but I don't think any of us do anything about them.)

I think that a new email address is fine, and fixing this is one of many things on my list of "To fix" as part of the pending migration from MetaCarta hardware to something that we can maintain as a community -- something that I expect to be working on more rigorously in the coming weeks.

Most likely, the best solution is going to be to deal with this situation as part of a move toe OSGeo; I'll still be getting email at the MetaCarta email address for the near future, at least until after we get other things handled/taken care of.

In the meantime, I'd suggest not having them go to the PSC email address.
