And same thing for subscription, that way joe-irritating-luser won't be subscribed to the list by joe-obnoxius-luser because former irritated latter. (Cf. Emery Dennis <emdennis@ix.netcom.com>, who was clueful enough to filter out the unwanted lists, but not clueful enough to bounce the messages instead of replying to the list. Barf.)
Of course, addresses subscribed with above confirmation would not be asked for confirmation the first time they post.
Basically, one confirmation is requested the first time an address interacts with the list.
This is done by the listserver for the spam-l list (at least for subscribing), as well as many others. It seems to me that a high-volume list just can't do without such a system.
- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
