No, [EMAIL PROTECTED] isn't a members only list. It is for everybody to send in support questions. We don't require these people to subscribe themselves. One could probably think about a 'opt-in' method where people who are not subscribed have to respond to notification before their message is sent to the list. At least for me this creates the problem that when I resond to an email on this list (doing a 'respond all') my mailer only uses the addresses from the Reply-To: and the Cc: fields. If the original author hasn't added himself to Cc: and is not on the list he will not get the reply unless I add it by hand - which I often forget. I don't know if any of this can be fixed in mailman but I'm sure it could be fixed by some mail pre- and post-processing. If we can agree that we want something like this and on what we want we can probably find a volunteer who'd hack this for us.
