Possible:yes, desirable: no; we'd like people to be able fire off a mail |

to gentoo-dev (and gentoo-user) without being subscribed. |

practical for non-subscribers, too. |

Most virii and spam have been sent my list members with infected systems; |

closing the list would obviously not fix that problem. |

Two immediate solutions is being worked on: |
22 |
|
23 |
1) Better spam filter |
24 |
2) I'm probably going to ban all mails containing HTML attachments. |

we'll probably stop accepting mail sent from Outlook ;P |
