hi guys !
as most of you will know, the linux-audio-user list is members-only.
many of you post helpful and perfectly on-topic replies there, which is
great, but unfortunately from a non-subscribed address, which is not :(
i used to hand-approve them, but there are just too many of those
messages now to do that, so i'm getting anal about the policy and reject
everything regardless of sender or topic.
please, everyone, do not cease to follow lau, and please do share your
expertise, but also please do it from a subscribed account. it really
hurts me to stash messages from bill s. or paul d. into the bit bucket,
but i just can't keep up. :(
unfortunately, there is no easy and reliable way to tell mailman to
accept all members of another list as posters, and i do not have the
necessary privileges on the list server to roll my own
cross-authentication.
check out the possibility described below if you need to post from
several mail accounts.
best,
jörn

hi everyone !
lately, the number of posting attempts from non-members has risen to a
point where i'm just rejecting them without reading each one and checking
if it's on-topic or has already been sent to the list from another
account.
our current list policy is members-only posting, for the following
reasons:
* i believe people who want to profit from a community should take part in
it
* spam prevention. so far, it has saved everyone from about .5k spam msgs.
a number of list subscribers seem to post from different addresses, so
some of their mails are being rejected. if this applies to you, there is
always the possibility of subscribing multiple addresses and disabling mail
delivery for all but one via the web interface.
best,
jo"rn
