Honestly I don't recommend mailing lists for technical support.
Especially this one where moderation is nearly non-existent and
nothing prevents prolific posters from deluging with inappropriate
or massively-offtopic responses.
I think the Stack Overflow-like web communities of superuser.com and
similar are much better for that use case. Answers supplied need to
be effective and on-topic otherwise they get voted down and buried.
Debian did used to have a similar thing running Shapado. It was at
http://shapado.debian.net/. But it was never very well-used and
ceased to work some years ago. I think this was a shame.
Previous discussion of Debian's now defunct Shapado instance was
here:
