How about configuring it to reject all mail from
persons not
subscribed to the list and send a message somewhat like "sorry, you're
not subscribed to this list, please do so at *yadayadayada*...",
that's what I did for wikiis-l after the spam got too much for my
taste.
I went looking for that message (what gets sent to unsubscribed posters) in
the Mailman interface and couldn't find it. That would also be suitable as
a solution. Where's the message?
I'm not surprised that you didn't find it, I had a hard time finding
it myself when I was setting it up, I should have included
instructions on how to do it in my original message but I was in a
hurry.
Anyway, go to
http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/admin/wikien-l/general
=> Privacy options => Sender filters and change:
* default_member_moderation: no
* member_moderation_action: Reject
* member_moderation_notice: The notice you want to send to people that
send mails to the list without being subscribed, this should include
instructions on how to register.
* generic_nonmember_action: Reject
