By default, mailman sets new lists so that:
Restrict posting privilege to list members? (member_posting_only)
is no. this is a Bad Thing. A Very Bad Thing. By default, lists ought
to be restricted to member posting only, because otherwise, naive
users who believe the defaults are simply setting up lists that are
waiting to become spamholes for their users.
Allow a user to turn this off if they want, but don't depend on them
knowing enough to turn it on. By default, it ought to be on, so this
default should be changed for 2.0 final...
