List Administration - non-subscriber postings allowed?

[Tim Colson <tc...@cisco.com>]

Say folks -
  This email is not about Jonathan Revusky. I'll get that out of the way
first so there isn't confusion/supposition/insinuation/misapprehension/a
love fest. 
 
I just realized that one of my recent posts was made from one of my
personal accounts. 
However - that account isn't signed up to the list. Seems to suggest
that non-subscribers can post to the velocity-user list... or I have
unusually good kharma. I tend to believe it is the former case. <grin>
 
Assuming this is correct, this could provide a vulnerability for
spammers and email virus transmission to the list. 
 
So - I propose that non-subscribers be disallowed to post to the list to
avoid potential hassle.
 
Cheers,
Timo

Thanks for the clarification Serge.
So I must have good kharma afterall. Cool. ;-)

Posts by non-subscribers get directed to the moderator.  He/she can then 
approve or reject the post, and can optionally flag the sending email 
address as one that is allowed to post without moderator review.

So, what you propose is already in place, but that's how your message 
did make it on.
