The question is which evil is the bigger one ... It's not > as if spam were less annoying ;-) 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...).
