This list *was* configured that way, but now Jose is on vacation so we removed that restriction temporarily so messages would not be delayed in his absence. (I could take ownership of the list temporarily, but I will soon be on vacation as well.) In the meantime, sorry for the inconvenience. If the spam gets too frequent I will consider closing the list to non-subscribers and checking my mail every few days while on vacation to approve (valid) non-subscriber messages.
