Hi Jacopo,
Thank you for starting this discussion. I think perhaps we can choose the
easiest solution first, and try something else if that doesn't work, so:
1- If we can configure nabble not to post messages from non-subscribed
users then the issue is resolved and we're done because it mirrors the
official ML. Maybe we just need to go and delete threads manually from
non-subscribed users.
2- If the above solution does not work, then perhaps we can stop our
subscription with nabble and redirect our users to the official ML service (
lists.apache.org) through our website.
I don't know much about how to configure nabble, so perhaps someone here
can help us with this information to see what to do next.
