Subscribers posting from different addresses can be an issue. In the
gentoo lists, I think only one address is allowed. It's not as bad as it
seems, after all people can probably use ssh to work from, or to tunnel

I mentioned /dev/null just as a possibility. My point was: is it
possible to deliver messages from subscribers and non-subscribers to
different directories?

I know, but even so it can be too much load, enough for the
administrator feel the temptation of opening the list. (I'm not thinking
of this list, specifically).
