In most cases, this would be pretty easy to do, as any non-subscriber
posting to the list would almost always fall into one or the other
category.  Pure spam, or pretty well on target.  There are always going
to be a few on the border, and I'd say err on the side of forgiveness.

I don't think I've ever posted from another email address, but I'd hate
to block those folks who have honest questions, because their not
subscribed.  I would suspect that most non-suscribers would be posting
questions or spam.
