The list is open.
You can post messages even if you are not subscribed. This is
necessary to make cross-postings and participation from people on the
ALSA and linux-kernel lists possible. It also means we have to live with
the occasional spam.
It can be helpful to subscribe and lurk for a while before you join
the discussion to familiarize yourself with the the habits of the tribe :)

Hi,
When this was discussed on lmkl the answer from Matti Aarnio -- co-postmaster of
vger.kernel.org was:
"Running lists _closed_ doesn't solve the thing either. It would
be enough for a spammer to fake source address that is known poster
to a list."
