I know that people have strong opinions about this which is why previous
discussions have been a bit "tense", but I think we will have to discuss
this again sooner or later.
I got 16 SPAM mails through the ML in the last 12 hours (and 3 valid post),
and the trend in the last weeks shows that this is getting worse.
Now, having a some antispam solution in front of the ML requires maintenance
and will inevitably lead to false positives, thats probably not what we want
or have the resources to do.
Restricting the list to subscribed user (subonlypost) is not a good thing
either, however if the alternative is that important topics (from both
subscribed and not subscribed users) are buried in tens of SPAM threads
every day, I think its a small price to pay.
just my two cents,
