True, but if you set such a list, it has to be open (not member 
restricted)...and then, I really suggest that we set an anti-spam list.

Seriously, during my 2 weeks taking care of the english list, member 
restricted, I had up to 30 mails per day to check.
with several ones per days infested by virus or worms.
We just can't have an open list any more, if a solution to found for
1) limit spam
2) improve security for the recipiendaries
