Subject: New Anti-Spam Measures

One of the public Pensive lists was just spammed.  Accordingly, I 
have added restrictions to the lists.  I had been reluctant to do so 
previously, because this makes it less convenient for people to use.

Effective immediately, only subscribers can post.  I realize how 
annoying this can be, since you may be subscribed using one address, 
but try and post from another.  No one likes having his or her 
messages returned because the address wasn't subscribed.  One way to 
mitigate this is to subscribe all your addresses, and set all but one 
for NOMAIL.
