I'm not entirely comfortable with blindly white-listing anyone who posts to linaro-dev with something that doesn't look like spam, for several reasons:
1. That is not a great way to run a moderated mailing list. 2. IT aren't going to be in the best position to say whether or not the sender *should* be able to send to linaro-dev, even if they didn't send spam. 3. The whitelist is going to start getting *very* big very quickly, reducing the effectiveness of the mailing system and of the moderation function. This may need a bit more thought, I suspect. I suggest that there should be more than one non-IT person with administrator access to the list so that the moderator queue can be checked more frequently that is currently being done at the moment.
