Of late there are multiple posts on the users list regarding mail list

Florian points out an issue with mailman:

We use mlmmj for good reasons.
Mailman has a lot of options and the luxury of a web interface, but it's
a total mess for moderators. You have one password per list for all
moderators, and moderation via e-mail is a pain.

Just re-read the msg from Florian quoted above, and the bit NoOp filtered out
is:

That being said, the only viable alternative for the moment was mlmmj
(Majordomo is legacy, Smartlist is procmail-based, ezmlm is qmail-only;
maybe Sympa is an alternative). So, at the moment, I can't do much about
it. Mailman would be great if we didn't need to moderate.

This is significant, since, as we are agreed, the only valid reason for
moderators, given their limited powers, is, in fact, being able to pass
unsubscribed messages.
One thing I omitted in my original reply was that a significant portion (don't
ask for a %age) of the moderated posts are from regular posters who for some
reason post from an address they have not registered.

James I think that emails being sent from unregistered emails should be
rejected, and the user either has to register, or use the email with
which they registered.
