OT: Please. Can someone lock the mailing list to only accept mail from registered users

Yeah, I agree.  But, I don't want to limit the emails we get from 
non-registered users (e.g. Alan Cox, Linus, etc. ;').  I also think it 
is important to have a user-support element still in place.

What I might do is split the lists:

sensors-devel@
sensors-users@

I could make both of these addresses unadvertised on the web site (which 
seems to be the primary means that our current address is harvested?), 
but have an autoresponse to the current sensors@ which gives info 
regarding the above two addresses.

What do you guys think?  Spam sucks, and I really resent being forced to 
add an extra degree of seperation from us and the rest of the world but 
there may not be another reasonable alternative....
