As I wrote in my previous email, greylisting is not the problem.

I agree with the thanks, not with the fact that non-subscribers need to
be moderated (and greylisting is already a moderation), but it is your
project, so you decide ;-)

I do not see the point in not sending notifications:

1) I would be interested to know how many spam emails passes
   greylisting.

2) given the fact that there is no SMTP error message and no
   notification, there is no way for the sender to know what happened
   with her/his email, which is a bit unfair.

3) not having notifications also means that you can not cancel your
   email, which could result in duplicate posts.

Really, I do not have any problem with waiting (if I know that I have
to), but the above seems overcomplicated.

FTR, I subscribed to the gnupg-devel@ mailing list and re-sent my email:

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
