I'm still not sure if I want to run one; if I did, I might would take the drastic step of making the subscribers list public so anybody may takeover the distribution list[1]. Right now only I (and Rubyforge admins) have access to the subscribers list on RubyForge, (but I hate website logins, so I never look at it :P). I don't feel like anybody should have the exclusive privilege of knowing who subscribes to a list. I may also run a read-only NNTP server (not sure how to enforce a Cc:-all workflow if posting were allowed). > AFAIK, we don't have many ML subscribers anyways, and VERP seems > reasonable... I do get a lot of rubyforge bounce messages from spam bots attempting to subscribe (and I think some of them succeed, even). So maybe attempting to do SMTP delivery isn't worth it with public-inbox... [1] Obviously I know it'd be easy for spammers to harvest lurker this way, but they already harvest addresses from every poster. I suspect most folks on ML have decent spam filters these days. (and if you don't, I use and recommend SpamAssassin)
