[ZOO-PSC] Request to stop sending mailing list reminders

Hello monkeys!

(this message is not ZOO-specific but it does apply to many of us monkeys)

I just now received the monthly mailing list reminders from
gisws1.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp and gisws.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp  What is
startling to me is to see my personal password sent to me in plain text
each month from these OCU servers.

Note that the OSGeo-SAC committee just recently dealt with this, by
universally disabling these monthly reminders from Mailman.  (see the
full discussion at
http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/Fwd-passwords-being-sent-in-clear-text-td5020097.html)

Can we disable these monthly updates for these mailman services?  (as
that thread states, mailman is supposed to be someday switching to
hashed passwords, but, until then we should disable)

Thanks!
