How to disable lists

[B-user]

Hi,
I want to disable lists. It should be impossible to post
messages after disableing a list. Everything else shall
work like before.

I thought its just to comment out the list refering lies in
data/aliases but this dosn´t help.

I´m very appreciated for any idea, thanks.

yes, that would be useful

i was wrong - completely shutting down lists is not needed, as there is "emergency moderation" as a feature in mailman.

Commenting out the aliases in data/aliases should be sufficient, but you have to run

postalias data/aliases

(preferably as the mailman user to preserve ownership) to update data/aliases.db.
