There's various mail list types on @freebsd, inc. eg: Announce; Subscribers Only; Moderated=Censored jobs@; [etc?]. questions@ has discussed before if we should require subscription, (& if so, to reword /etc/motd to tell posters to subscribe first); A majority who expressed a preference did not want subscription required. (I was with a minority who did want it). > FreeBSD mail admin(s) actually do a pretty good job. These are very > old, very well known open lists and the spam rate is very low. Yes.
