[REMINDER] Subscribe to the list before sending email to it

[Leif Hedstrom <zw...@apache.org>]

There’s a pretty significant amount of emails that have to be moderated right now. This happens when you email one of the mailing lists from an account that is not subscribed.

So, please make sure you email only from addresses which are subscribed to the list please. This will put less of a burden on the moderators.

The queue of moderation is primarily from people I know are subscribed to the lists, but they are using the wrong “From” address.  :)

No use.  Only subscribers will see your message.

The choices are:
 * the status quo - moderation
 * open the list to spam from anyone
 * just reject mail from non-subscribers

There's no ASF-wide policy, and I expect a lot of lists are configured
by accident of history rather than anyone's choice.
