Re: WG mailing list: auto discard from non-subscribers?

[Margaret Wasserman <mrw@windriver.com>]

I think it should be okay to turn auto-discard on,
as long as you also have notification on.  That way,
the non-subscriber will be notified that his mail
was not posted, and can act accordingly (post from
subscribed address, subscribe and/or contact the list
admin to be added to the posters list).
