Hi Jeff,

Disallowing non members posts to the general list is problematic, since 
as of the below MAINTAINERS entry this is where people from the kernel 
community post issues they have with the RDMA stack, and you don't 
expect everyone to subscribe the list...

white-listing member posts sounds fine, but this is a bit too much. As 
Sasha said and as was mentioned few times in the past, it seems like the 
old @openib.org aliases cause us lots of troubles, maybe we should just 
remove them.

Or.
