The sources.redhat.com/gcc.gnu.org solution is to: * accept all posts from subscribers * RBL-filter posts from non-subscribers * maintain a 'global-allow' list for RBL-blacklisted non-subscribers who want to post It works quite well but I imagine it would need changes to the whole gnu.org mailsystem rather than be implementable per-list.
