Nobody has complained, so I'm going to implement it.

  No, though I'm a bigger fan of the -mu options to ezmlm, i.e. you must be
  a subscriber to post, otherwise the post it bounced for moderation.  It's
  100% effective at keeping spam off the list, though it can't stop stuff
  like sircam (nothing does except 100% moderation).

Yeah, but the solution I've chosen only intercepts the first posting,
so if I'm away from my machine, a new subscriber is not silenced
entirely.  It fails safe, even if it lets some spam through rarely.

Sigh.  No, [EMAIL PROTECTED] won't, but
[EMAIL PROTECTED] will.  On the other mailing lists hosted on
crywnr.com, I'm using a very effective spam filter.
Previously-unknown addresses get bounced to me on the first posting.
Subsequent postings are automatically approved unless I remove the
address from the approval list, which I do in the case of spam.

As it turns out, that algorithm would have let one of the VENTURE
CAPITAL messages through, but that's actually quite a rare case.  Most 
spammers don't send twice to the same address using the same envelope
sender.

Any objection to my turning on this feature for license-discuss?
