"Your request was denied."

I can tell you that maintaining that level of security of mailing list content *can* be done. I know of, and may or may not(*Grin*) have been a member on, lists with 15+ years under their belts that've really only had breaches of confidence that can be counted on one hand. It just requires some work. But that's the level of security you're going to want-need before anyone's going to be bitching about their boss on a mailing list.
