This mailing-list is intentionally set up so that non-subscribers can
post. This is done so we won't lose any bug reports etc. (The mail-address
on the homepage goes to this list.)
So far the amount of spam is so small that (in my oppinion) the advantages
of having an open list are greater than the disadvantages.
