But using C/R and force $USER to subscribe, will double my Messges.
Please note, that I am not subscribed to any malinglists
of l.d.o except whitelist@l.d.o and I receive all 68 on
a secret E-Mail for local archiving. This Archive is
readonly and used by more then 20 local $USER.
So forcing $USER to subscribe will increase the load of
my network dramaticly, which mean, curently I get around
2500 legitim Messages and 27.000 SPAMs and if each user
should subscribe, then I have around 21.000 legitim
Messages and around 26.500 SPAMs (SPAMs coming from l.d.o
are realy rare compared with direct SPAM to local $USER)
Or will there an option "nomail" ?

Not directly right, because the CONFIRMATION request from
the ML-System send it because you have requested it.
But I get tonnst of C/R daily from people I do not know.
This make the difference
