I've occasionally manually approved a few posts that have come through, 
but posting from non-subscribers has, as far as I recall, never worked.  
It would have been a misconfiguration.  The practical consideration is the 
one I described above, spam prevention.  It's necessary.  There are many 
attempted posts per day to each of the lists I carry.

Bugs are best reported to bugzilla.  The lists are for discussion.

Sorry you feel that subscribing is too high a bar.
