There has been much more debate and flames over the years around the ideas that: - doubling the list traffic in some moments via tenths of "Forwarding to unsubscribed poster, who cares if subscribers mailboxes get full?" messages is a smart and sensible practice - wasting hours and hundreds of messages to figure out how to filter automatically in any mail client under the sun messages from unsubscribed posters or the smart notifications mentioned above can work in all cases or make any sense in the first place If you'll put together that web form, things will surely improve. Until that day, I suggest that everybody just follows the strategy explained here: http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=discuss&msgNo=65332 you'll all waste much less of your own time and collectively generate MUCH, MUCH less list traffic than we have today, when the majority of messages is not helping anybody, but it is "forwarding to unsubscribed poster" or endless threads discussing how to recognize such posters or why this is a good idea. > http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=discuss&msgNo=62249 > which IMNSHO would alleviate (not totally eliminate) some of the issues > raised about non-subscribed users posting to this list.

Unfortunately, few subscribers expressed any interest. I'm not surprised, the same thing happened to me. See the link above.
