The Debian lists are deliberately not "subscriber only may post" on the theory that it's better to press DEL than to prevent someone from posting. However, "subscriber only" is a simple config option in Majordomo, and something I politely suggested several months (years?) ago. That is when I was told of the above policy. Mahapps some more politely worded requests to the listmaster are in order. Curt- > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
