Hello Security list members

I got an overwhelmingly positive (off-list, thanks!) response to
my complaint that this list's signal-to-noise ratio was terrible.

Some folks are still replying to spam on list, but the noise figure
has dropped significantly. Thank you!

I would very much like to make this list subscriber-only. This will
cut down dramatically on spam and the inevitable misdirected
'subscribe' postings. The downside is that folks will not be able
to reply to the list if they receive it via a list redirector (IE
if a corporate role account/list-alias has been used to subscribe).
In this case, those folks would become read-only members (which may
in some cases be OK). Other folks would need to subscribe to the
list with their 'real' email address.

Comments? Suggestions? (Keep it brief and focussed, folks!)

M
