[Mailman-Users] suggest about default at admindb.py from DEFER to DISCARD

[Andres Seco Hernandez]

Thanks a lot, Lloyd. That is exactly the option i was looking for.
I am sorry, i have not found it after a lot of searching. I was using
some old versions of mailman for a long time, and i search a lot in this
recent version for new functionalities.
