I'd like to propose a change to subscription protocol used here.
I suggest permitting a non-member alias to post messages, while
sending the e-mails from the list to the real e-mail address.
As an example, I'd like to propose that I be able to subscribe
as a *poster* as [EMAIL PROTECTED], while receiving
the posts as [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is my real
e-mail address. No e-mail would be sent to the alias, which would
be used only to permit posting, but would not be subscribed as
a recipient.
Commentary anyone?
I'd love to be able to do that myself. It might cut the spam
considerably.
Since anybody can post to this list without being subscribed (witness
the spam we get), where is the problem? You simply subscribe under one
address and post from another. (And should you have trouble with your
posts getting a higher spam score since your posting address is not
subscribed, you can subscribe to debian-whitelist which was created for
this purpose.)
