Thanks for the information. All that sounds pretty reasonable, it sufficiently 
protects against spam and does not discourage participants.

Other FOSS mailing lists implement different policies.  One particularly bad 
example: The main linux-kernel  mailing lists (those hosted at vger.kernel.org) 
completely block all mails from native email addresses of the biggest German 
ISP (t-online.de) since 2014/05.
