Is that because a list subscriber (you, I presume) happens to be the
postmaster at the receiving site?
No, it's because even web mail systems these days have filtering. Gmail
does, for example. That's what I use.
If not, do you mean all users have both the permissions _and_ the patience
to whitelist lists that they subscribe to?
If users don't have the patience to set up their mail systems to receive
non-commercial mailing list traffic without charge to the sender, then they
won't receive the e-mail, will they?
I'm asking because I see no means for automated registration of opt-ins. Am
I missing something?
Huh? You can handle automated registration of opt-ins exactly the same.
Nothing about this mailing list or the software that runs it would need to
change if we had attention bonds.
