    The list admin here with some news on the list setup:

    Our aj list is now restricted, meaning only *subscribed* accounts may
    post to the list. If a non-subscribed address attempts to send mail to
    the list, a explanatory notice will be returned.

    I belive this will prevent some of the spam and viruses we see from time
      to time. However, there are some serious drawbacks with this policy.
    For example, those that only subscribe to the digest mirror
    (http://www.cmd.uu.se/AcidJazz/FAQ/MailList.html) or read the mails at
    the online archive (http://www.cmd.uu.se/AcidJazz/Backup/) will not be
    able to post to the list without some extra effort. This includes some
    of the forwarded messages we get through other lists.
    However, I have carefully considered this issue, and hopefully my
    decision is the right one. If this affects you and you wish to be able
    to post to the list without having to subscribe, contact me and I belive
    I will be able to work it out.

    Cheers,
