Those are interesting and informative for me, but a perl developer can probably give a damn about the latest nmap release.

We believe in it.
The signal to noise ratio can get pretty bad at times, but there are always intersting discussions.
The Risks Digest is also pretty interesting.

Linux Users Group of Davis Lists
linux-wlan(tm) Project Mailing Lists
Not anymore, of course. It doesn't exist anymore. When onelist merged with egroups or egroups merged with Yahoo, ISML and some celebrity/model fangroup had dibs on the ISML "name" so ISML became "Future Science Mailing List" or FSML. And then it was no more.
If anyone knows of a current group like it or if it morphed into another list of another name, I'd love to know. Last I heard of it was November '02. Great unusual finds from the fringes of tech and science.

The Boost developer mailing list provides a wealth of practical experience and innovative software engineering for the C++ programmer. Not only do you learn how the amazing libraries work, you get to see the thought and development process that goes into them. I did not really understand templates until I joined this list.
And more important, which of those mailing lists can be viewed on the gmane email to usenet portal ? Mailing lists are such a pain to manage and attract so much spam to your account...
