Hmm. If (c) works, we don't need (a), and open lists are more
userfriendly.
For Han-Wen's remark: instead of whitelisting contents, one could also
blacklist potentially dangerous attachements (name extensions .zip,
.exe, .html, .bat, .com, .scr, .pif, all kind of MS Office documents,
and corresponding content types). This would create a little higher risk
for worms doing it through the mailinglist, but it would probably easier
to maintain and more convenient for list members. Note that IMO the goal
of filtering should not be protecion of list members (that's each one's
own job), but to reduce noise created by spam/worms.
