spam via mailinglists is normal, and really heavy to block

The main problem is, that most lists allow users to post without subscribing
to the list. Mostly of this spam is filterted, but sometimes "new" spam makes
it.

So just use a good Spamfilter like SpamAssassin, and it will block/remove
nearly all spam.
