I didn't find any facility to whitelist addresses or domains, but I found an option to download everything including (alleged) spams.

But now I've set up under a different account at twc.com .

With netbsd.org emailing lists, I have to subscribe one at a time, and unsubscribe the old one at a time.

With freebsd.org emailing lists, I can switch to a different email address in one fell swoop.  I still get a confirmation message that I must respond to.

I see I can set up mutt to do NNTP as well as POP3 and SMTP.
