 * I have a blog set up for a high school newspaper. We want it accessible by the
   public, so that all our students (or for that matter, anyone who wishes) can 
   view the pages. The subscription function has been set up to allow our newspaper
   staff to have access to post and edit, but no one else should be subscribing.
   Lately, I have been plagued by a flood of unknown people, all with yahoo.com 
   addresses–not that that matters, who are “subscribing.” Although this might be
   quite innocent, I don´t think it is. I would like to be able to block any subscriptions
   until I approve them, or to automatically assign them to a role that does not
   allow them to do anything. Because my staff uses personal addressess, I can´t
   create a white/black domain list, and I cannot find the option to do anything
   like what I need. Can you please help?
