Here in Brazil, at MSXBR-L, non-subscribers can't post to the list, which is a
nice way of blocking some mail
viruses and a little spam. Yep, as manager of the MSXBR-L I've some problems regarding
authorization of non-members'
emails, like normal subscribers who forget to send messages using the original mail
and sends by an alternative one. But
it's better than spamming all over the 220 subscribers' e-mails.

Yep, suspend'em. MSX mailing list still runs over majordomo, isn't it?
Does anyone have ever thought about changing the whole mailing list to another
list-server, like mailman? I'm
using GNU Mailman with MSXBR-L and it sounds nice, all Web-driven (I can solve almost
all problems using Mozilla).
