I help manage tomcat-users and tomcat-dev, both high volume lists. We use the following policy for both lists:- anyone can subscribe - subscriptions are not moderated - subscribers can post - posts from non-subscribers are rejected This works pretty well, the only things tending to go wrong are:- genuine users not subscribing and not reading/understanding the reject message - less than 10 a week and easy to deal with - auto-responders managing to subscribe themselves to the list - again less than 10 a week and easy to deal withThe only time we have had real problems in the last 2 years has been when an auto-responder managed to get subscribed to the list and was replying to its own replies. This killed the list until my unsubscribe and deny-subscribe messages got through.Whilst no system is perfect this works well for us and on most days I spend between 0 and 5 minutes dealing with list issues.
So this can be decided on a per-project basis already? cheers -- Torsten
