I was about to suggest exactly this. A good example is the PHP-doc mailing list (if I can recall), that uses a simple method: if the posting e-mail is not a subscriber, then:I was surprised that the list seems to be "open", that i can post with an other eMail address i'm subscribed with.Many other lists are "closed", only "subscribers" can post on them, making spaming much more difficult. On those "closed" lists i have 2 accounts, to avoid getting non-list emails (mostly spam) to my list account or that address into spamers database. One address only for the mails from the list, and one addresse i use to post to the list. To avoid getting the list twice that "post only" account is in "vacancy" for the next 10000 days (there is a year 2036 problem at least in "listar"...).
- Hold its message
- Send an email to that address stating that, once it is not a subscriber, it must reply to "this" e-mail (which contains some sort of message ID/stamp).
- If it's a real person on the other side, he/she will reply and the message gets posted. If no reply is obtained for say... 3 days (?) then the original message gets discarded.
