Claiming Mailing list ownership?

Question

i jointing a mailing list, an alumni mailing list, but unfortunately this mailing list don’t have an owner or moderator. The owner email status is bouncing, probably because effect of yahoogroups.com migration from egroups.com past years ago (around in year 2000 or 2001). The problem ware occurs when nowadays many spam email come to this mailing list, without any moderator we cannot protect out mailing list. We also made an other option like make a new mailing list, but this step was to hard to archive because in this mailing list we have a lot of member and we cannot just told them to migrate to other mailing list.

tons of groups out there with MIA owners.

it is said that if you contact yahoo, they will appoint a moderator (not an owner) if a poll is conducted to vote one in by the members of the group. however yahoo hasn't said what priviledges they'd give as moderator.

some have said they tried this method, and once yahoo knew there was no active owner, they deleted the group as part of clean-up.

your other choice is to create another group and invite those active members to it. this is probably the better of choice since there's then be an owner.

either way, here's the help form
