Good Morning,

  Although this can be done, and some of the lists are doing this to
  ensure that only members post (ie. the Laurels' list), it's not for
  everybody. (This not for everybody, includes me.)

  There are valid posts being made to the lists from non-subscribers.
  These are such items as event announcements, Inter-Kingdom
  anthropology, IKAC results, Board info, etc.

  To date on the Ansteorra list, the valid information being posted has
  exceeded the SPAM. If the filters and software being put in place help
  reduce the likelihood of it happening even further, I'm all for it.

In Service,
