I have noticed that when I post to a gmane newsgroup before I'm
subscribed, I will get an e-mail asking me to confirm that I am a real
person (not a spammer) and that my address is valid. Replying will
subscribe me and post the withheld message.
Can't we have the same thing for the mailing lists? That would
definitely take the load off the list admins.
