As i wrote in an other mail:

Use 2 different addresse:
one "stable" to receive all of the list
and one "expiring" to mail to the list.

I have no problem with a "closed list".
The disadvantange that i have to subscribe the list
every time i get a new address is minor.

That "expiring" address may be stolen by spammers:
They just fill up there database with garbage after sometime.




IIRC there are cloaking programms for mailing lists.(exim?)

In the mail is only a "onetime address".
The "real" address of the sender is only known by the
mailinglist robot.
