I don't think so - although admin addresses often get the type of  
stuff sent to them that ought to be put to the mailing lists  
(especially wylug-help) but the sender assuming they'll get special/ 
more personalised help if they send to that address (admittedly this  
happens more on the exim lists than the wylug ones).   Frankly it will  
all get moderated anyhow (as they won't be subscribers) so Smylers or  
myself can pull sensitive stuff out of the queue if we realise.

[We could probably do with an additional moderator too - I know both  
Smylers and myself are likely to be away for the same week in August]

For most lugs it would control their website or web-services access on  
the lug.org.uk systems, but wylug does not currently use those  
(however this is an option if we want to move things away from the  
university systems).
There is some PHP stuff available - I think the intention is to have a  
small number of blessed/maintained content handling apps for websites.

So its basically controls forwarding for wylug.org.uk and there may  
possibly be a couple of mailing list control functions you do from  
that level (although I can't think of any).
