I have a question about the general lists; not the bug tracker. What would happen if we can change the policy of the lists (debian-boot, debian-devel, and so forth) so that they will not accept email except from those people who have already subscribed and have confirmed?
I belong to some email lists (these are not Debian related, but for social groups) that prohibit any email from getting through to the list recipients except from those who have subscribe and have been confirmed. I have seen far less spam on those because of that policy. Unfortunately, I don't know for sure what those lists use. I have a vague idea that one of them uses something called Mailman and the other uses something called Majordomo. Truly, Mark Allyn
