*Do you want to receive messages that do not match any topic filter?*

This option only takes effect if you've subscribed to at least one topic
above. It describes what the default delivery rule is for messages that
don't match any topic filter. Selecting *No* says that if the message does
not match any topic filters, then you won't get the message, while selecting
*Yes* says to deliver such non-matching messages to you.

If no topics of interest are selected above, then you will receive every
message sent to the mailing list.
