Is that because a list subscriber (you, I presume) happens to be the
postmaster at the receiving site? If not, do you mean all users have both
the permissions _and_ the patience to whitelist lists that they subscribe
to?

I'm asking because I see no means for automated registration of opt-ins. Am
I missing something?

The Advenge system as operating in 2003 sent the recipient a notice
when a message passed the whitelist due to a text search hit against
one of their "magic phrases."  This notice contained a URL to
whitelist the sender and a URL to whitelist the source IP for use with
mailing lists, the assumption being that good mailing list traffic
comes from a small set of IP addresses that only produce good mailing
list traffic.

Did it have more authentication/verification option than GPTP?
(I only found http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/asrg/current/msg12583.html and urls mentioned therein about it.)
