Agreed. My point, perhaps awkwardly-worded, is that it's important from the perspective of mailing list operators to reduce the number of steps required when signing up for a real, verified mailing list. Expert users will always be able to tell their client that it's a legit mailing list and tweak procmail or whatever to let the messages through. But less savvy users may forget to whitelist it even after responding to a subscription verification. Something that lets it be done automatically would be helpful. It doesn't matter to me at what level that takes place. -Declan
