Hi Tony and list,

Please do not send emails to the list for testing or any purpose other than
Ubuntu technical support. By doing so you're generating a large amount of
noise for up to 5000 people for no reason.

Can I please refer people to three sources of information that will help to
determine what requests should be sent to the list:

1 - the list information page -
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users (this refers to
links 2 and 3)
2 - the list archives where you can check what emails have and haven't been
sent on the list from an authoritative source -
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/
3 - the list FAQ page that can help you understand what the list should and
shouldn't be used for and how to get assistance with list issues -
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuUsersListFAQ

If all else fails, please reach out to the moderation team at
ubuntu-users-owner at lists.ubuntu.com and we can assist you further.

Regards,

Jared Norris
(on behalf of the moderation team)
