it is not, and has never been, read only. it forwards posts to the
mailing lists where it is subject to the usual non-subscriber
automoderation. so, if someone posts using a bogus address (perhaps
because they inject all sorts of "NOSPAM" stuff into their address),
they will never receive the confirmation mail from the automoderator and
their post will never show up.
