Can the reflector support a "approved sender" list that consists of subscribers + others who request to send but choose not to receive at the same address? This would allow those like Mr Okubo describes, that wish to receive through a secondary reflector to still be considered approved senders.

Dear Mr. Euchner,
[...]I'm not certain whether anybody can send stuff to this list, regardless of being subscribed or not. Thus, this sounds as a minimal precaution to make sure that any posting origins just from an authorized email address, where authorization means that the originator has been registered by the mailing list administrator. Is the listserv system able to check this? Would this help?
This measure was once considered. A practical problem is that some users are receiving messages through a secondary reflector. For example, most of Japanese experts are receiving messages through TTC reflector that is subscribed to the Intel reflector. This is in expectation of Intel's reduced administrative load. Even active members cannot post when they are subscribed to the secondary reflector.
If it is really necessary, then we can request all experts to subscribe directly to the Intel reflector. However, it is appreciated if there is another means.
Best regards,
