[Citadel Development] (no subject)

Better spam filtering would be helpful, but we have to assume that no 
filter will ever be perfect.  It's probably time to implement access 
controls on mail to rooms.  
   
 I think we can safely assume that the following are always allowed:  
   
 1. Mail from non-SMTP sources (such as other Citadel nodes on the 
network)  
 2. Anything from an authenticated SMTP connection  
    
 And it's probably safe to accept mail from:  
   
 3. Someone whose address is subscribed to a mailing list room  
 4. Someone whose address is subscribed to a mailing list room in digest 
form  
   
 So all we have to add is:  
   
 5. One extra type of listrecp that doesn't actually get anything 
delivered from them -- it merely identifies their email address to Citadel 
as someone who is allowed to post to a room via SMTP  
   
 And possibly:  
   
 6. A global list of addresses (such as fleeb's cell phone) that can post 
to *any* room via SMTP.
