A subscribers-only list is the only alternative.  My system currently
doesn't support it, but I suppose I could add it.

The tricky bit is handling the case where a non-subscriber posts a
real message, and we send them the subscribers-only note, and then
they subscribe.  Should we keep track of the message and automatically
send it if/when they subscribe?  Should there be a web form where they
can click on their message to post it anyway?
