Daniel, you should know: I released your message! Wayne and I moderate the list, and the way I understand it, it's entirely an anti-spam measure, not an attempt to encourage people to subscribe to the list before posting. The moderation was only instituted when people started complaining about spam: http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2007-August/018372.html In fact, I'm getting sick of having to release multiple messages from the same person, so I'm thinking of whitelisting people when they send their first non-spam message. Wayne, do you think this is a good idea?
