Second, is anyone actually willing and able to do this job? I certainly don't have time. How much delay is the moderation process likely to introduce? How available can the moderators be to handle and process incoming mail? This seems like a potentially very large time commitment by the moderators with little reward.
I would do it starting this summer once I get my real-net-feed running and my public access site up, probably for subscribers to my site only, though. (Hence giving people greater incentive to subscribe to my service, and giving me a benefit from doing it..) [Of course it would be trivial for any one person who's subscribed to my service to redistribute it to others-- but if that is abused and I don't get sufficient income from the activity, then I'll stop doing it.] [BTW: I'm looking at $5/month for a maildrop accessible via the POP protocol. Fully anonymous, all I need is money in advance. (Probably a 2-3 meg quota on the mailspool.. my link isn't very fast nor do I have loads of diskspace at this point) What do people think?]
