<P>
If I remember correctly, the mailing list is blocking non-subscribers
<BR>
from posting messages. This is done to avoid spam reaching the
<BR>
mailing list.
<BR>
<P>I suspect this is a major blocker for many of willing SANE
<BR>
contributors. At least, I have asked at least a handfull of people to
<BR>
send their patch and suggestions to the list, and never seen their
<BR>
contribution.
<BR>
<P>I disovered today that the blocking behaviour isn't described on the
<BR>
mailing list web page, &lt;URL:<A HREF="http://www.mostang.com/sane/mail.html">http://www.mostang.com/sane/mail.html</A>&gt;. I
<BR>
suggest at least adding a paragraph with a warning for those like me
<BR>
is reading the mailing list on the web.
<BR>
<P>When talking with David earlier, he mentioned that most of his time
<BR>
spent on SANE was used maintaining the mailing list. I'm not sure,
<BR>
but I suspect most of it was used bouncing legitimate postings from
<BR>
non-subscribers into the list. If someone wants to help him by moving
<BR>
some of the load from his shoulders, parhaps we would both get a
<BR>
better mailing list and more access to Davids valuable time. :-)
