    So ... if someone (!subscriber && !whitelisted) sends a message, it stays
    put somewhere till you get to it and determine whether it is relevant or
    not, and either (1) forward it on to the list if appropriate, or (2) drop
    it if detected as spam. And no "notifications" are ever sent out to
    genuine / well-meaning posters during this process. Right?

    Fair enough, if my understanding (as mentioned above) is correct, then I
    believe the patch achieved a greater purpose than what it was originally
    sent out for!

    Thanks,
