I have been following this closely, and without getting into the
discussion re SPF, I think one issue especially affecting LKML is the
traffic.
One (almost sure) fire way to stop the spam is to make a subscribed
ML. But people like myself cannot/have not the resource to take on
the 200+ mails a day (how the kernel devs manage it, I don't know?).
So I have subscribed via my gmail account to follow the mails, but
then at least I can reply from my 'real address' and keep the thread
intact (if you see what I mean).
So, why not make the list a subscribe only list to SEND, but give an
option to NOT receive any mail from the list unless CC'ed?
Making subscription to LKML a requirement would be a major barier for
people who just want to shoot off a bug report or similar but who do
not want to be subscribed (nor can be botherd to go through the
motions to subscribe, or perhaps can't work out how to subscribe)...
We want users to be able to submit bugreports to the list easily.
