Really? They think the spammers actually take the time to read our lists?
That seems unlikely. Even our most active members have problems finding
time to keep up on all the list traffic on our site, and the spammers are
busy attacking millions of addresses, not just ours.

Agreed, though ideally it would tie into the opensolaris.org user database
to allow addresses through of any registered user, or at least to allow anyone
subscribed to a mailman list to post to any other, but I suspect those are
much harder than the simple pattern match of @sun.com or @opensolaris.org.
