Administrator maintained public "choicelist"(functions as a whitelist, and a blacklist) database:
Who administers this?  And who can read it?

Each entry in the database is maintained by the creator of that entry.
anyone can read it because it is a public database.
I'm not asking who adds entries to it. I asked who administers the database.
The database curator is responsible for making sure the database is available.





Database curator:



Again.  What's the scope of this job?  Per-ISP?




2. protect the security of the database against unauthorized changes.



How are changes authorized?



By password, then by password reset, then by an actual person contacting 
the creator using the contact info they give.


You skipped the scope.  Who is paying this person's salary?




2 entitys are involved in this:

the curator would be paid by the government.

any employees would also be paid by the government.



the person who created the entry is paid by thier job(or perhaps they are 
retired, or whatever it is they do so they can eat).




4. give id# of the list's entry to subscribers so they can recieve the 
list, or use a system where they send the first message to subscribe to 
the list.


These ID #'s are unique world-wide?  Who guarantees that?




Yes they are unique. there is one central database that that generates a 
unique number when an entry is created.



I'm sorry.  Are you proposing one single global address that is run for 
free (you said this was non-commercial so that it would be better adopted), 
and into which every user puts their email address, their postal address, 
their password and a list of every single email address that they allow to 
send them email?  And further did you not say that if I input an address 
into this database, I get out a list of all people who can send email to 
that address?  So in other words, if I subscribe to the porn video 
volunteers mailing list--anyone can find out?



The database only contains: sending addresses, a subscribe address(i am 
regertting adding this as it makes the system more complex), and an error 
address.



your whitelist is your own, it is stored on your computer. each entry # 
resolves to a list of accepted addresses. that list is stored in the 
database.



porn videos vounteers? so you've seen my other website.
