On the subject of collateral damage: some will point out that tor is a service with legitimate applications, including some that are close to the heart of many on this list, such as protection against invasion of privacy by corporations, defense against persecution by totalitarian governments, and freedom of association for at-risk women. While these are all valid uses of tor, I believe the intersection of these uses with posting to the debian-women mailing list is approximately zero: while we don't want to be responsible for preventing such people from contributing to Debian in general, there's no need for them to be able to post to debian-women in the process, and in many cases it's probably safer for them if they don't do so. I'm not aware of any legitimate posters to this list that are using tor when sending mail, and I can't think of any realistic cases in which it would be necessary for someone to do so.
As the list archives are public, I could theoretically imagine tor being used by a woman in a situation where there is a BOfH disapproving debian-women or where the poster can assume posting to (or receiving) DW to worsen their situation at work or at hobbies. Whether these are realistic situation, I really don't know, but is it too much work to manually moderate tor messages instead of deleting them automatically? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
