Good question. I don't know why. I wish all were, it would keep spam out.
To allow a free-er environment for us than that might first give:
Taking the syntax of majordomo as an example to illustrate an idea in
(I know Freebsd.org moved on to Mailman, but I'm assuming/
hoping Mailman is at least equally as flexible as Majordomo;
& as I'm an administrator for Majordomo lists, & have tried
the idea below & seen it work, I can quote syntax for it correctly)
Given a list eg scsi@freebsd might exist that happended to go from open to
restrict_post = scsi
ie write only for subscribers, it could easily be made eg
restrict_post = scsi questions hackers
So others in eg questions who had occasional scsi specific questions
could be referred to post there without person needing to subscribe to
scsi@ as a regular (& agreed, just hope all respondents CC
the OP, if OP is too lazy/ busy to subscribe eg scsi@).
Most list config files could do that, so it would be equally possible
for eg someone subscribed to hardware@ to answer a question posted
to questions@, even if the answering hardware@ person was not
personaly subscribed to & reading every post to questions@.
questions@ could have a questions.config with something like:
restrict_post = questions hackers current ports scsi etc....
Cheers,
Julian
