RE: Turning off List Subscription?

+1 to jzb's idea of turning it off. The only thing I would like to add is that we add to to marketing join wiki page for the mailing list that there is a manual approval process so there might be delays. Just so we don't deter future contributors.

There's some bot or something that's auto-filling the form to request a subscription - so they don't actually subscribe, they just get the confirmation. Problem is, it looks like anybody getting this from us is also getting sent to a bunch of other mailman lists - so the effect is a bunch of (what seems to them to be) spam. The other reason I think we might consider turning this off for a while - if enough people are getting this, it means there's some percentage just clicking some variation of "mark as spam" -- which could result in traffic from our lists getting a higher spam score.
