By default:

configset DEFAULT restrict_post <<ENDAAB
GLOBAL:
ENDAAB

which means that as long as user is registered, they can post ... 
registerd != subscribed.

This setting does apply to pgsql-www as well ...

configset pgsql-www restrict_post <<ENDAAB
GLOBAL:
ENDAAB

But even for posts that match that condition, there are other conditions 
that also can apply (ie. header lengths, message lengths, admin commands, 
duplicate posts, etc) ...
