For mailing list subscriptions, I use different (private) mail addresses than those I use for posting. When sending mail, I use different addresses in the envelope and the header's From:. With the current 'subscribers only' policy, I have to go through several steps to finally have a mail posted to this list, this one now goes through gmane. I was very pleased with the confirmation requests sent to the envelope sender, this was just a single easy extra step, and the message was done. Furthermore, this mailing list is mentioned on the runit web page as contact address for contributed run scripts. I received a complaint, and support it, that contributing is made rather difficult, because it's that hard to get the mail delivered, the contributor finally gave up. Regards, Gerrit.
