Automatic posts to the list makes it unwise to require subscription.  I
didn't realize you had that feature as I use the Outlook plug-in.

Reject with message containing subscribe link, but that would irritate
someone who is trying to do their first automatic problem report while they
are having the problem.

Your list, your rules.  I think I'll follow your advise and stop filtering
the lists.
