Quite often, people who post inappropriate messages to gcc@gcc.gnu.org
get a reply from ezmlm whose From: header is gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org,
since all (?) mailing lists have a -help address. It turns out that
gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org is another mailing list, that gets all the
resulting traffic?
Is there anyway to modify the -help address of the gcc@ mailing list,
so that this kind of mistake doesn't happen any more?

Not that I'm aware of.
The easiest thing would to be to kill the gcc-help list completely.
Unfortunately, RMS decreed that we must continue to support gcc-help
back when the EGCS & GCC projects merged.

Would renaming the list to, say, gcc-install, be too painful?
