That's the huge attraction for me. While I don't internally phrase it as the Ghaza strip you referenced in your mailman-developers post, the idea that by using TMDA on the inbound side of lists we can: -- largely return mailing lists to the open-no-subscription required model of the 1980's and before and by putting a TMDA-like system on the outbound side can: -- largely return can largely validate and securely implement the "once it leaves my network its public domain" model that recurs so often. Even without creating Russ-exceptions (and as a user I agree with his requests for non-munging) they would seem a pretty significant change from the current common practice of mailing lists. Heck, just sticking TMDA in front of a list (as I've just done for Mailman, details on how to access my test setup available by off-list request) is quite a forward leap (especially in the regard of separating posting rights from subscription status). -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas.
