It is an inconvenience, but a small _one-time_ inconvenience to pay for clean lists. 2) Add an option, so that when one subscribes he can list a set of e-mail addresses he'll use for posting. I have no idea how feasible #2 is, it sure sounds like a load on the mailing list server. It seems to me #1 is ideal. Out of curiosity, why would someone consciously subscribe from an address he doesn't use? Do you use aaa@bbb to post, but read from ccc@ddd?

Now, _that_ is a lot of work. I can't see how everybody suffering a bit from #1 above is worse than slowly driving a couple of moderators crazy ;-) Yoav > > Eivind.
