I agree with Arnt that in a number of cases it is really proper that
some submitters are not subscribed to the mailing list they send to.
Examples are:
1. bug report lists and customer services addresses - such as mentioned
by Arnt
2. committee group lists, such as the list for a board in an
association, where eg members can submit requests to the board.
3. joint discussion between two or more groups.
4. some mail providers require from = user account
Thus I read mail from my common account, but as soon as I want to send
some message from home, I have to use SMTP after POP which does require
the POP user account to be used as From, while I set a 'Reply-To' in order
to receive the message again.
Thus I can't send messages from home to a list that accepts subscribed
members only.
Technically, this would require e.g. a list server that could be
programmed to handle 'aliases' (secondary adresses).
