Besides enabling "Restrict posting privilege to list members", it would be
nice if the listadmin would also enable "Check postings and intercept ones
that seem to be administrative requests". These are standard options for
Mailman mailing lists (www.list.org), and result in a lot less junk
traffic to the list subscribers.
