Nope, open posting.  It's too much of a pain otherwise for threads to
coexist with the other lists like linux-kernel.  However, we do require
that the list address (or the old one) appear as a header recipient,
which helps the spam problem a bit.  While testing the new list out
several spam mails that got sent through the old list got tripped up
by that.

We're using the sourceforge defaults, which includes a full complement
of List-*: headers.

Yeah, I have a pretty long list of weed-out headers in my muttrc
  % grep '^ignore ' ~/.muttrc | wc -l
     251
So they don't really bother me :-)
