Yeah. If I don't check daily (which I usually can't) it is just too much to deal with. > But, those are from unregistered mail addresses, right...

Heh, only one mail has been manually allowed recently. There are simply too many spams to even find them. So it'd be good to automatically allow a few more mails, so they won't get lost (which they doubtlessly will if I have to let them through my hand and can't do so every day). > Doing that, it would be convenient though if people could add alias > email addresses to their list account, or be able to subscribe addresses > without receiving mail from the mailinglist on it.

I think people can do that themselves; I'll check if that is true tonight. > Another possibility would perhaps be to allow email from addresses which > have partial matches with an existing list address.
