Yes, since the damage from ADSP can affect other subscribers.

Since we don't have any experience, I don't think we should be telling
list managers how to verify submissions.  The text in 5.2 and 5.3
looks fine to me.

What a bad idea.  The list's output is one mail stream, as section 5.6
says.  The current language looks correct to me.

R's,
