No, it isn’t possible to send a mail to the list without subcribing
first. mlmmj will refuse the message and ask you to subscribe first.

Yes, you are right with this. The forum rules allow you to do that. I
can add that for the ML also.

The number of people already subscribed to this list is not too large. I
have the full list of subscribers on the server, but it’s nearly only
the project team. Even aakburns isn’t subscribed. (At least this was the
case when I last checked the subscribers list)

We can do that probably. I’ll look up how many subscribers we have
already and set up a short document in the ML’s directory.
