+Your problem was a bit of a challenge, so I found a solution.
+Of course, if sysadmin would make changes allowing you to forward to the 
+list, that would be easier for you, but more complicated for sysadmin.
+
+Gmail (like many other email providers) allows forwarding email received.
+But you can only forward to adresses that can respond, which excludes 
+forwarding to mailing lists.
+Gmail allows you to forward to more than one adresse, and even to filter 
+which emails you wish to forward.
+
+So I suggest:
+1) Create a new gmail account that is easy to type, something like 
+mga-zh_tw at gmail.com
+You could use an existing account, but a dedicated account would be 
+easier to manage.
+
+2) On your new gmail account, under email parameters -> Transfers and 
+POP/IMAP, in the section Transfers, add all the email adresses of those 
+in your group.
+Gmail lets you can add filters, so you could filter all email not coming 
+from Mageia to not forward spam.
+But you might instead want to use this new adresse to communicate 
+between members of your group.
+
+3) You use this new account for CC's to your group.
+
+The down side is that each member you forward to has to accept before 
+emails will be sent to them, and for each new member, you have to 
+remember to add their email adresse.
+But at least it will work, and you can implement it right away.
+
+
+Regards :-)
