I agree that the list should only accept mail from subscribed  
members.  Mainly to keep spam and other crap off the list.  Most  
lists I am on (which are technical) require you to be a list member  
to post.  So in this case the FreeBSD policies are "not the norm."  I  
am on one list for an MTA where if you CC the orig poster plus send  
to the list you get in trouble with some folks.
