Right, that's my understanding too -- fully open lists are not supported
on groups.io (and at least in the edk2 community, most participants
don't like fully open posting -- I happen to be a fan of open posting,
FWIW). Worse, for non-subscribers, the best that groups.io offers is
white-listing per *message*, and not per *sender*.

Ugh, I didn't know that just holding messages for moderation took a
separate setting!
