Email list members can change their mailing list settings, subscribe and unsubscribe to the mailing list and get their mailing list password sent to them.  This is not a real secure system, so don’t use your best passwords.  Some of the things you can do is to get your email in a digest, or even disable mail delivery completely.  

You may want to set up an alternate email address as a member of the list, but disable mail delivery.  With that option, you can still post to the list, but won’t get any responses from the list.  This can be useful for a work address that you don’t want to get MALT mail on, but from which you may want to occasionally post a message.  Since we don’t allow any posts from non-email list members, this would allow your message to get through.  

Someday we may get the ability to see archived mail again.  That was taken out long ago for privacy issues, since we couldn’t effectively limit this ability to mailing list members.  We could probably figure that out if anyone expressed any desire to see it. 

Note that is is actually the same page that is used for new subscribers.  The existing subscriber section is towards the bottom.

Any live human can join the MALT mailing list, providing they don’t spam us with any commercial stuff or are obnoxious.  If you want to join, you will be getting an email from our president asking something about yourself.  Don’t worry about your answer too much.  We are just trying to figure out whether you have blood or electrons in your veins.  I am sure that in the future that that statement will seem prejudice against robots, but here I stand.  We do not allow automated mailers to join the list.

Please note that you must join the list to post to it.  Any posts that are sent from email address not on the list go to a holding place where the mailing list administrator can choose to reject or allow the posting.  Generally, the administrator rejects the messages when he gets around to them.  Occasionally messages are passed to the list, if it is clearly a related message from someone we know.  But your administrator doesn’t look at this holding place very often.

Not allowing outside posts keeps a lot of spam off the list. Your administrator sees lots of junk in this hold place.  No one but the administrator sees the junk.  So far, no one has tried to pose as a home brewer just so they can join the the list just to send us spam.
