If you have rules then you should enforce the rules. I'd vote against
maintaining an auto-accept list because it will confuse people if you
add exceptions and make something work and sending from other addresses
won't work. So on the mailing lists I maintain I let valid postings
through one time and send a message to the sender that he/she should
subscribe to the list.
Ciao, Michael.
