Having run a myriad of mailing lists over the years with MajorDomo that
were thusly restricted, the problems were minimal and when the person
realized that they didn't get a copy back, they re-submitted with a
correct e-mail address and life was good.

We've already got a lot of volume in here - 98% of it quite valuable.
Allowing spammers to attack us only increases the volume and makes it
even more difficult for us to keep up.

I, for one, vote to re-configure the list so that only those that are
ON the list can post TO the list!
