The new person joining does not have to pay this fee.  Imagine this:

"Hello and welcome to OCLUG.  We have teamed up with the local Free-Net
to sponsor a mailing list account for you so that you may participate
in discussions around Linux and other Free-Libre Open Source Software
[FLOSS].  We hope that at some point you become a paid-up member of
OCLUG to help support this and other FLOSS projects.  Welcome aboard."
