IMHO, making the list moderated for non-subscribers can be a viable
solution, *as long* as the list-admin is relatively prompt in approving
any legitimate non-subscriber message.
I personally administer a GNU-Mailman-based list and I setup things that
way (all subscriber-generated messages pass, all
non-subscriber-generated messages must be approved to pass): no junk
mail reaches the list.
Of course this takes a little effort from me (whenever I receive a
Mailman-generated advisory that some messages are waiting for approval),
but I think that the benefits outweight the drawbacks (at least for low
to medium traffic lists...).
My 2 cents...
