It can't be a closed list.  Think about it - it is for people who have
questions.  The people who are subscribed are interested in answering
questions, or seeing questions and answers.

You should not be required to subscribe to post to it, otherwise noone
would ever post to it more than once, because they'll overflow their
mailbox quota (either real disk quota, or personal mail reading
ability).

Not to mention people who post with other addresses than what they
receive mail (including me), and getting the postmaster to cater for
these on an individual basis is not going to be fun for him or us.

The spam is irritating, but it's generally quickly blocked by our very
capable postmaster, and is at a very low level.
