OK, I've set up this list, trustedpost@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Note that you can not send any email to this list - its only use is to automatically be approved to send mail to any of the members-only mailing lists on nl.linux.org. You can subscribe like this: $ echo subscribe | mail trustedpost-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx > Rik> Any volunteers ? > > I wouldn't mind helping out.

Indeed. Lets see how the "trustedpost" thing works out, and then we can look at the other measures. If you read via gmane or another source, and want to post to the list without subscribing - just add yourself to trustedpost and you'll be able to send mail to the list just fine. -- "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
