        That's the "correct" way to setup a mailing list which
        provides support for a program -- people will usually just
        send bug reports or ask about unexpected behaviour without
        having to go thru the entire subscribe, send the message, wait
        for responses, unsubscribe cycle.

        This is (or, actually, should be) usually the case for open
        source program mailing lists. The drawback is that you get
        spam once in a while...

        On the other hand, if your mailing list is just, say, a music
        mailing list, then there's just no need for keeping it open.
