There may be a few places where a GST user is told to just post to the
list address if they have a question or problem; requiring them to
subscribe might drive them away.
However, if a confirmation step (non-member posts to the list, and gets
back a "reply to this" or "visit this web-page to confirm your post")
can be done, that might be enough to weed out most of the spam.
Some of the spam I get comes directly to an email address *only* used
for this list. So even a confirmation step won't quite be enough.
