That is a qood question. It is self-contained as well but I don't think it
makes much sense bringing it into staging as it is just a "hack". :)
I'm not sure what the best path forward might be. Does it hurt keeping it the
way it is ?

I think most of the things listed here are already done. It just needs to come
together. I'm confident that this will happen soon.

The postifx setup is quite simple at the moment: It rejects all unknown /
unregistered mail. Greylisting is not in place yet. I quickly ran pflogsumm to
give you an impression:

But I tend to agree with you: We might have to face the fact that we have to
improve the SPAM filter on our end and open the list. As a first step we could
install greylisting and have a bunch of moderators to see how that goes.
@Jacob: How do you feel about that ?
@Andrew: Would you be willing to join the moderators group ?
