No.  Posting to the Lilypond-User list is explicitly *not* restricted to
list members.  This state is a conscious choice, not the result of an
oversight.  We (the project leaders and I) want people to be able to post
to the user list without forcing them to subscribe to it.  There *are*
filters on the GNU Music lists - this message just happened to slip through
them.

If this problem recurs, I will take further steps to deal with it.  Since
I am subscribed to all lot of GNU mailing lists, I personally received
*many* copies of the "Hey SEXY" message.  Most of these things happen only
once and then there is a new and different problem to chase so I plan to
wait for a repeat of this problem before I act.
