There are situations when people who aren't subscribed have a legitimate
reason for posting. Consider messages that get cross-posted to major lists
such as linux-kernel.
Then there are subscribers who have multiple email addresses for categorising
email who will have to make sure that they post using the correct From: field
to have their mail go through.
As for a "white host", if it's relaying spam then it'll get added to a DNSBL
soon enough.
