This has been discussed to death on the freebsd mailing lists, The over
all feeling was to add such a system would `break' most of the clients
that subscribe and would eliminate the open mailing list we have now,
Most list subscribers know that about 10/20 questions a month that come
to this list come from people not subscribed.
I think all and all the thought Is good though implementing this idea
would be too much of a headache on non subscribers that wish to post
messages.
Cheers.
