Any chance we could require that one subscribes to the list before
posting to it? I realize that sufficiently motivated drive-bys could
subscribe, send, and leave, but it might reinforce the idea that IETF
lists are for debate, not for screeds.
Subscribe, or perhaps have to go through a challenge response like one
does with craigslist if not a registered user. Send your email ... it
goes in a pending queue ... you get a response back that requires some
action on your part like going to a web page and completing a captcha ....
But frankly, I think subscribe is best ... then they too receive some
portion of the email campaign. Perhaps there is a minimum subscription
interval of 24 hours?
