Biggest problem with this idea is that there is a trend towards using
web forms for mailing list sign-ups (with email confirmation). If
this becomes common practice, you will not have the opportunity to
capture the out-bound "subscribe me" data.
As for telling your local users that they need to register all list
servers or they will not get their in-bound subscriptions, good luck.
Most ISP lusers never read the details of policies and such... You'd
have to intercept the in-bound list traffic and send a notice to
anyone subscribed to an unregistered list.
