I'd like to reinforce the point.  When posts to my lists from 
dues-paying members are rejected because they are from "non-members" it 
raises some hackles.  The distinction between a member of the 
organization and a subscriber to one of the organization's lists needs 
to be clear.  I'm also eagerly awaiting the capability mentioned in a 
previous thread to summarily reject (or simply ignore) posts from 
non-subscribers to a subscribers-only list instead of requiring the 
list administrator to reject them.
