Posting the confirmation email to a high-traffic public mailing list is not the best way to handle this kind of problem

It would be easy to dismiss this as best handled with a cluestick, but I think it may be a somewhat understandable mistake: 1) the registration email does not give any guidance, 2) it's not so clear that the forum is not part of OO.org, and 3) I guess some people are not so clear on what a mailing list is.
Could we add a private email address on the registration message, "If you have trouble logging in to the forum, email help@oucv.org", or something like that?
