don' wanna.  Full details of this decision can be found at the bottom of
any decent port glass.  ;)

Seriously, its a royal pain because a lot of people aren't subscribed with
their posting addresses.  Even if I did keep a file of whose allowed to
post from where, I certainly don't want to maintain it manually...
although an automated thing (can't post, email blah and we'll let you post
after verification) might be workable.

Oh, an unsubscribe request for that has been put in (more spam for me,
whee), and the address has been blocked.
