How does one make an e-mailing list which accepts posts
from subscribed members only?

Presumably you have something which checks incoming mail headers against a  
list of known subscribers.


Why isn't this practice used in this list? I have seen it being
used on many other lists.

Because some folks don't want it to be, including the admin, apparently.   
This allows folks to post from other accounts when they think of a procmail  
question from a different group


My daily spam quota just doubled when I first joined this list.. :(

It would be nice if there was some filtering done, if it is not going to be  
subscribers-only.
