The spam filter is important here. If you try to do it yourself, i
think you are lost. However i'm subscribed to a number of open lists:

five of the ecos-* lists hosted on sourceware.org
lirc on sourceforge
ivtv list on ivtvdriver.org
etc

It is not often i get spam on these lists. I would suggest using one
of the big well known list providers, like sourceware, sourceforge, or
vger and let it do all the hard work.
