Why shouldn't that be allowed? I'm on some lists where, to accomplish this, you're supposed to subscribe and then change your settings to a kind of "vacation mode" where you don't actually receive anything. The other objection to a closed list I've seen is that one might post from multiple addresses, not just the subscribed one. This should only be a problem if your post goes through a server that rewrites From lines. (Most good mail clients let you create multiple "personalities" so you can sign the From line with the right account.) ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Influence the future of Java(TM) technology.
