This is a problem that has been mentioned here at work. Isn't there a
way to configure the list manager so that mail from non-subscribers go
to some place other than the mail waiting for approval? (I'm thinking
/dev/null, but not necessarily.) The moderator would be able to browse
the alien-originated mail at his own good time, or trash it, without
interfering with the approving of mail from subscribers (assuming that
the list is moderated).
It seems absurd that the only choices are 1) letting everybody in or 2)
letting everybody plague the list administrator.
Any workaround, anyone?
