[XCSSA] test non-anonymous

[Anton Olsen]

Just keep the membership moderated and spammers can't join.

Besides, my addresses are all over the internet, so it doesn't do me
much good to try to hide them. I just let gmail do the spam filtering.
Out of the ~800 spam a day that I receive, only about one or two make
it to the inbox.
