Hi,
for several months or so I was happily using the web forum at http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=187

I wouldn't call it that but, in principle, yes, it does generate email
which gets sent to the mailing list.
In the recent days apparently posting a message requires approval of
the ML owner - or to subscribe to the ML.
Personally I'd rather avoid subscribing and I think it's an
unnecessary obstacle for casual commenters too.
So I am wondering if this is a new policy or just an inadvertent
change that can be reverted ?
When the list owners change the administrative password to the list,
the messages from the forum to the list get held up in moderation. The
list admin/owner will either need to inform us (off-list) of the
changed password or we'll reset it.
As for avoiding subscription...due to the realities of spammers and
spam, we just don't run open lists.
