Well, that wouldn't solve the problem with spam. How about making you
the
list adminstrator? Then you get the mails from everyone not subscribed
(as
currently I get for kde-core-devel :) and you can judge yourself if it
belongs
to the list or if it's spam. But allowing every spammer out there to
post to
koffice is bad and tiresom - remember that we spread his mails 500 times
;(
