There's been a proposal to better prevent spam-type garbage on prominent zope lists by restricting postings to only those that come from list-subscription addresses. I'm considering experimenting with the subscriber-originating restriction on a few of the highest-traffic lists that i manage, and will go ahead and do so unless i hear strenuous objections by tuesday of next week. I'm planning to try this on the [email protected] and [email protected] lists. The restriction would be automatic rejection of any posts that originate from anything other than subscriber addresses. The rejection notice for those messages would explain the policy and detail how to subscribe, plus how to disable delivery to secondary addresses. (Thanks to joe block for that suggestion.) If you have a serious objection, send a reply to me and to [email protected], and we'll discuss it. (Do not reply to zope-announce - it's never for discussion.)
