Wow, something sucks!

Only I think you missed the point of what an 'Open Mail Relay' is.

If you subscribe to this list you automatically agree to receive
messages directed at the list address. Thus you can _unsubscribe_.

Whilst I agree that subscriber-only might be wise in this day and age
that in itself opens another can of worms.

Implimenting sub-only means screwing around with people who subscribe
using a different address to that which they post with, etc.

So erm, yeah, you might like to perhaps direct any feedback you have
about Dan and the way he runs this list, _to Dan_, instead of bothering
the rest of us with it.

Cheers
Mark.
