A) Reject

Sounds good to me.
I think a Reply To Sender telling them why it got rejected might be
a good thing. Then we might not piss off some 70 year old guy trying to his F-1 a good home...
You probably still would, becasue although I've yet to find a mail client
that can't send plain text (every version of Outlook I've seen can),
chances are the 70-year old isn't sure how to change it. My father
certainly wouldn't know how.

of making posts to the list

non-subscribers get a subject tag of [OL] or something like that.
Another good idea.
Can't the system compare the From or ReplyTo field against the
subscriber list, and take action from there?
People like me might need some assistance here. You see, my e-mail address is DAW(a)yalespress3.unipress.yale.edu.
Yale ITS just
provides
an alias for me which is David.Woyciesjes(a)Yale.edu.
Both work fine, and I
think both are in the headers of my messages. Confuses some other
automated
mail systems...
Good point. There are almost certainly people on the list who've
subscribed from a different address than the one they have the mail sent
to. Not insurmountable, but it does need consideraton.
