No.  You have to be on the list to post.  It helps reduce spam.  There
is a second "accept" list for people who sometimes post using multiple
addresses.  I don't mind adding people to that list if they are
already subscribed, but I would prefer to not have to do extra work to
for people who don't want to receive messages sent to the list.  If
you don't want them in your inbox, set up some form of filtering.

If people want better mailing list service than I've been providing,
please find some volunteer(s) to take over the lists.

Thanks,
