I wish all were, it would keep spam out. To allow a free-er environment for us than that might first give: Taking the syntax of majordomo as an example to illustrate an idea in (I know Freebsd.org moved on to Mailman, but I'm assuming/ hoping Mailman is at least equally as flexible as Majordomo; & as I'm an administrator for Majordomo lists, & have tried the idea below & seen it work, I can quote syntax for it correctly) Given a list eg scsi@freebsd might exist that happended to go from open to restrict_post = scsi ie write only for subscribers, it could easily be made eg restrict_post = scsi questions hackers So others in eg questions who had occasional scsi specific questions could be referred to post there without person needing to subscribe to scsi@ as a regular (& agreed, just hope all respondents CC the OP, if OP is too lazy/ busy to subscribe eg scsi@). Most list config files could do that, so it would be equally possible for eg someone subscribed to hardware@ to answer a question posted to questions@, even if the answering hardware@ person was not personaly subscribed to & reading every post to questions@. questions@ could have a questions.config with something like: restrict_post = questions hackers current ports scsi etc....
