If we implement this (I will probably give it a shot when I get some free time), it will work like this: As long as you are a member of the list, or the digest list, you will be able to send from the address that you are subscribed from.
If you are not on the list, i.e. you get the list through an exploder or mail->news, mail->web, or want to post from another address, etc., then you will have to subscribe to a 'posters' list, i.e. 'linux-kernel-posters'. Note that no _mail_ will ever be sent to this list, it's just a list of people who are allowed to post.
If you attempt to post and are not on any of these lists, you will recieve a reply from majordomo telling you what you need to do to be able to post.
This should stop 'one-off' spam from ever reaching the list.
BTW, I have filtered the 'EMAIL MARKETING WORKS' spam; the sub-human idiots responsible continue to send it every day, it just ends up in my mailbox instead :(
if you have comments on this proposal, please send them to the Reply-To: address (tjd@wordsmith.org).
thanks,
todd (owner-linux-kernel)
