+1 on restring to subscriber only. If you want to add some blacklists, I'll advise http://cbl.abuseat.org/
Why would we need blacklists if we're restricting posts based on subscription?
Very simple: The blacklists operate at the Postfix level. The checks to see who is subscribed and who is not operate at the Mailman level. Mailman is, err, very resource intensive. Any mail that can be rejected by Postfix and thus never reaches Mailman is a big win. Andrew and I saw that yestrday when we tweaked some settings. jens
