Sort of. What I was talking about was using mail-back confirmation as an
option for allowing postings from email addresses that Mailman has never seen
before (i.e. non-validated). The confirmation message would be a sort of
on-demand validation that would optionally be enough to allow that email
address to post to the list. It still doesn't solve any of the authentication
problems with those email addresses.
