If you are talking about on the server end, several opensuse lists already are open for non-subscriber posting and have been for 2+ years. The anti-spam filters are already in place, etc. Changing all opensuse lists is a relatively easy technical task.
Yes I agree, changing them all to CLOSED to non members. anti spam filters are not perfect, if you open up a high traffic list, you get loads of crud, and yes, just look at LKML as a example. A free posting high traffic list will gain a lot of attention in the spam AND anti-spam world, not to mention you WILL get members of free mail services marking messages as junk, enough of them do it, BAM, this list ends up blocked or auto-trash folder'd As for keeping this post on topic, I don't care one way or another about cross posting, but if you cross post to lists you are not on, its your own stupid fault.
