I might write a longer blog post if I find time (which, tbh, isn't likely), but... given that I'm seeing a bunch of people who run mailinglists in 2026 having problems, and I think I understand the underlying technicalities quite well, a few notes on running a Mailinglist in 2026:
There is only one way to run a Mailinglist and be compatible with all the stuff you are usually expected to do if you send e-mails in 2026. That is to rewrite the From address to a domain you control.

Planting trees in the sea could act as a huge carbon sink and save millions of dollars in storm damage every year.
What is stopping us from doing it?
A new study reveals restoring mangroves could save $800 million in storm damage,
protect 140,000 people from flooding,
and remove almost triple the amount of CO2 produced by cars in the U.S. every year

@… I'm using groups.io for the first time. (I know! Sorry, I usually avoid mailing lists.) It's very good, thank you for running this valuable service.
I found the locked topics feature very interesting. It never occurred to me to have that in a mailing list, since the underlying tech doesn't allow it. Does it work well in practice? Do people use it? The group I'm on uses it extensively.

The Gulf resource most imperiled by war may be water, not oil
As the Iran war widens, experts say the Middle East’s real strategic weak point may be water – not oil. Much of the Gulf’s drinking supply comes from desalination plants clustered along vulnerable coastlines within easy range of Iranian missiles and drones. Many of the individual plants supply water to millions of people. Without them, major cities could not sustain their current populations. In recent days, Iranian drones struck an energy facility that powers a desalination plant in the …
