this is actually pretty good security

>you must be on the posters list"

How many times have we said NO headers can't be trusted?

The only real list security is moderated, and even the moderator still 
can't trust the mail from: header, but can only review the msg body as 
plausible, on-topic, not violating list rules.

A type of security that I haven't seen is "self-moderated" where an alleged 
poster receives a request-for-approval-to-post.  Just like 
double-opt-in/confirm for un/sub, but double-opt-in/confirm for 
posting.  But this would be fairly useless on an Imail discussion list 
since the Imail list turnaround time is so erratic and/or long.  3+ hours 
to get my confirm msg back, 3+ hours to get my confirmed msg mailed 
out.   Kinda kills the sparkling repartee of list discussions.
