<EM>&gt; What I did find a bit odd was that there was no notice that my mail was

<EM>&gt; that my post was not accepted as a non-subscriber would have let me know
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; that it had not got through. I think this would clear things up nicely,

<P>Any system which accepts mail but neither forwards it to its destination
<BR>
nor notifies the sender that the mail couldn't be forwarded is broken.
<BR>
It's that simple. If you're not intending to forward it, don't even
<BR>
accept it.
<BR>
<P>OTOH If the mail goes to a human and they make policy decisions, that
<BR>
is fine, but it would be good etiquette to inform people in advance that
<BR>
their mail may be arbitrarily dropped, edited, forwarded, delayed and
<BR>
otherwise maltreated -- all in the name of the group of course.
