2. We can lock the list down so that only subscribed addresses can

sent without being approved.

Seems a reasonable course of action. We don't get many unsubscribed valid people wanting to post, do we?

Until we throw the switch, I can't tell. So, everyone, take this as a warning: make sure *now* that your emails appear to come from the same email address as you are subscribed from. In a few days, the list settings will be changed to allow only subscribers to post without approval. All others will be held for review (not bounced).

6. We can ask Brett to hook the list software up to ORBS or MAPS.

Seems fair.

Brett, are you out there? Can you make exim add warning headers to matches on the blackhole lists, please? Then I will hold anything generating an ORBS or MAPS-RBL warning for approval.
