RE: SPAM was RE: INSURE GOOD RECEPTION! VITAL EMERGENCY STRATEGY!!!
While the traffic load on debian-user, for instance, makes subscribing
just to ask one question somewhat hazardous to ones mailspool, I agree
with making debian-security "posting by subscriber only". It really
isn't "moderating", and doesn't take anyones time.
To whom should we address the suggestion?

No. The number of spam messages on these lists is really beginning to
irritate me, it's getting bigger day by day. The task of
(un)subscribing to the list is pretty easy, so I really don't see the
problem of only allowing messages from members on the list.
