You really shouldn't put your Internet-visible IP address on a list quite so blatantly. Not everyone that has access to this mailing list (bearing in mind that it is archived and publicly visible) will have scruples. Many routers will have firewalling facilities but not configure them by default. Others will lock things down completely by default. Cisco is a good case for both... if you don't enable "access control lists" manually, then you have no firewall. Once enabled, if you don't configure it manually then it's completely locked down. If you have a "personal" firewall running, and yours is the only machine that connects to the Internet through this router, then it shouldn't actually matter if the router's firewall is off.
