Which only refers to something that Henne wrote, namely: "Only the user to user support lists are closed. So opensuse and opensuse-$LANG. Everything else is open. Henne" which does not make real sense as written. I think that there is a problem with what people THINK what the openSUSE mail lists are all about and what in fact may be the case. Read what is written here: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mailing_lists_subscription#Available_mailing... There is nothing written there to indicate "open" and "closed" mail lists. As far as I have been aware for all these years, *all* openSUSE mail lists are CLOSED in as far as that one needs to subscribe to them in order to receive from and post messages to these lists. AND the only exceptional treatment given to any openSUSE mail list is that the OFFTOPIC list is *not* accessed by Google for storage of posts for all eternity - a condition which was put to its participants for a vote and the result accepted by Henne. When Fred Miller was thrown out of this - and other openSUSE lists - by Henne the argument was that if one belonged to a private list then you obeyed the rules of that private list - a view which I upheld. But now, suddenly, there are no such private lists in openSUSE (except for whatever Henne wrote above). If there are language problems in interpreting what the openSUSE lists are all about then, please, can we get proper and correct translations in place about them - in something like http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mailing_lists_subscription#Available_mailing... ?
(Big question: what is the relationship between "spam filter" and 'not having to subscribe'? ... When list is using spam filter then you don't have to subscribe to list in order >> to post a message << . To receive emails you still have to subscribe, as subscription is nothing more then a message to list server to send you emails about some topic that is discussed on certain mail list.
Spam filters allow people that have no interest to receive emails permanently ie. to have subscription, to post message to the list after reading archived mails. Such people sometimes ask to keep them in CC in order to take part in discussion.
As you can see from above, spam filters have absolutely nothing to do with the nature of the mail lists.
