Lately I have seen alot of emails from people who don't bother to subscribe to this list, yet expect help from us. I was wondering if the mailing list system could be modified such that if someone tries to mail the list then they would get a message saying they have to subscribe. In addition, once they subscribe their message would be posted automatically. Of course, there would need to be provisions made to prevent someone from getting spammed by someone faking a From: Header. Possibly such messages could be limited to one every 24 hours.

The best solution, or at least the one we use, is for subscribed users to cc the unsubscribed users with the answer. IMO, if we are helpful to them, they may subscribe and then help out in the future. For instructions on how to set up filters to no when someone is unsubscribed, please see these:
